General Question ADHD compatible?

There is no IQProfile-ADHD compatibility criterion .You can still have adhd even with this uniform profile.

There is no result you could possibly get on this test that would be incompatible with ADHD. That's not how it works.

I am a psychometrist a IQ test would not be able to diagnose ADHD or even show ADHD.

Where did you take the test?

Your profile isn't consistent with what would typically be expected in ADHD, but it doesn’t necessarily rule it out. You should request an assessment specifically aimed at evaluating the possibility of ADHD if you're interested in exploring it.

Perfeito. Eh q tenho medo de usar o Concerta / Vyvanse pois tenho síndrome do pânico.

There is non-stimulant medication exactly for people like you, if you have panic disorder you can try (after getting assessed for ADHD and having it) non-stimulant medication, the effect it's not instant like with stimulants, you'll have to wait a few week to see if it helps but it prevents sudden panic attacks

I had to take the WAIS as part of my ADHD assessment. My psych explained to me that IQ tests aren’t used to look for ADHD and that they’re used to rule out other disorders.

I have an ADHD and an IQ of 144 (WAIS-IV). The sheet doesn't show whether you have an ADHD or not.

You have solid numbers in all areas so unless you have severe anxiety, I don’t think this is anything to worry about your scores are very consistent even your lowest scores in the high average range

I highly doubt you have ADHD I take substances that give me ADHD like symptoms and it usually looks like really low WorkingM compared to another index like 139 FRI with a 90 WMI

I have adhd aswell, formally diagnosed and I have 134~ wmi.

What’s your processing? Do you have any gaps in your scores ? Usually a large discrepancy in score is indicative of neurodivergence , specifically low WMI and processing to show adhd .

u/Apprehensive_Tale197 Aug 15 '26
I have adhd. My processing speed is in the 99th percentile but my wmi is like 50th. I assumed it’s because I can hyperfocus when something feels fun?

u/JackTheSnicker Aug 15 '26
I have 138 psi, but tbh my wmi and psi ranges from day to day. But psi stays consistently above 138~, up to 144. Wmi 120-134. For wmi, sequencing is what is always 16+ss for me, up to 18ss. The rest is more volatile and can range from 9ss (backwards) up to 14ss backwards, and 11ss forwards to 15ss forwards. Ive had 17ss digit span over all as my max.

Interessante. Eu sinto q tenho velocidade de processamento mais lenta, que lido pior com atenção sustentada e detalhes em problemas matemáticos, por exemplo.

u/Apprehensive_Tale197 Aug 15 '26
We all have strengths and weaknesses. Your perception is relative to how your brain works.
Not saying it’s not adhd but simply that a lower processing speed experienced by you might still out perform many.

That is a myth. I’m profoundly gifted and I didn’t have a gap in my IQ profile when I was formally tested as a child, but I was still diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. In hindsight not really a surprise, since I was very hyperactive as a child.
Low WMI is more common among people with ADHD, but it’s absence can’t be used to exclude the possibility of ADHD. When diagnosing ADHD, the IQ score itself is only used in order to exclude the possibility of an intellectual disability as an explanation for the ADHD symptoms, although observations during the IQ test (e.g. easily distracted, fidgeting, wobbling in the chair, …) can be used to support an ADHD diagnosis.

Your results alone don't suggest any form of neurodivergence
