🧵 Does anyone have a psych. or neuroscience background?

Could you help understand my iq?
Only diagnoses I have is adhd and an undefined learning disability. I’ve struggled a lot with procrastination, rigid thinking and emotional control throughout my life. I’ve also struggled socially due to my slow processing speed- I literally cannot keep up with most people, it’s very painful.
I’m not educated but I’d like to be. I worry im incapable because of my abysmal working memory and processing speed.
Anyone have a similar iq or experience with slow processing speed/working memory issues?
Anyway sorry if this is the wrong board for this, I’m not sure where else it fits.
I have posted this here before but I’m trying one more time to see if anyone has any insights.
Thank you so much for your time

The shrink you paid to administer the test might be your best bet for reliable information.

Yes she would have been, unfortunately she retired. I’m in between jobs at the moment so I’m uninsured and can’t get in to see a psych. just yet.

Something else I’ve wondered; there seems to be a roughly 10 point difference between my full scale iq and my general abilities index (106 and 116), which is a more important number?
Is GAI even that important if you don’t have the mental control (poor working memory) to make good use of your other strengths?

you probably do have the capability of being just as smart as everyone else, but grew up in an neglectful or underprivileged household and now have an internalized negative idea on your own intelligence. I believe in ya.

I wish I had that excuse, the reality is I have wonderful adoptive parents who are university professors and very intelligent.
Ive always felt lesser than compared to my family despite the fact that I was loved very much.
They weren’t perfect- they didn’t take my learning issues as seriously as they should have and they always made excuses for me. I don’t blame them at all! They weren’t perfect but they loved me and they did their best, what more can you ask for from your parents ya know?
Reality is that genes matter and I apparently inherited some bad ones. I just kinda suck all around.

Verbal comp is very high, is your white half Jewish by chance? You’re definitely capable of an arts degree. You’ll struggle in a stem field but I imagine you already know that.

The extreme spread of these scores is atypical and actually indicates there could be a condition of kind.
This person also has scores in the superior range, calling them ‘dumb’ is a bit reductive no?

not Jewish, I actually come from a long line of preachers on my white side.
They’ve made their living off their ability to communicate very well. I’m pretty confident I inherited my verbal comp. from that side.
>>16492412
Yeah this is what I’m afraid of. It’s starting to feel more and more accurate.

Any chance of a head injury?
Block design subtest, digit span backwards, coding and symbol search subtests all measure executive functions, and you’re suspiciously weak in this area.
Your spatial reasoning isn’t great but it’s kind of on par with most white womens scores. You’re probably bad at sports.
Your fluid reasoning is dead average, way higher than a typical black person.
Your verbal comp is nice and high, also way higher than a black person.
However your vocab score is only in the 80th percentile op, you need to read more. Your other verbal comp scores indicate that you are capable of a much higher vocab score. You’re not putting in much work are you op?
I bet you’ve been called lazy a lot. It’s not your fault, it’s the working memory.

Correction op, your spatial iq (block design subtest) is 37th percentile so you have a score of roughly 95. you actually have a higher spatial iq than most white women and black men.

Full scale iq is 106, gai is 117.
You’re not actually dumb op and you don’t have a good excuse for not being educated.
You definitely have other problems outside of iq holding you back.

I’ll translate
Verbal comprehension index score:127
Fluid reasoning score: 100
Spatial reasoning score: 95
Working memory score: 97
Processing speed score: 88
FSIQ: 106 GAI: 117
All your scores are higher than the average for black and mixed black people. They are comparable with whites in all but one area; processing speed.
You are a snail and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Make sure you only procreate with a white person if you want a chance at saving your gene pool. There’s hope for your spawn if let yourself get bleached by bwc

I don’t believe I had any major head injuries.
You’re right, Im not great at sports but I was always at least middle of the pack in terms of ability.
You’re right again, I should read more.

Op, this particular iq spread actually has a nickname; the ‘frustration’ profile.
The characteristics of this profile are high VCI + average reasoning skills but significantly weaker performance Iq.
Basically your ability to understand complex topics as well as your long term memory are actually quite a bit better than the average person, in your case it’s actually extreme.
However your ability to manipulate that information quickly is limited.
Luckily for you, performance IQ (working memory, processing speed) is the only part of iq you can actually compensate for. You need to externalize your thinking so that you can rely on your reasoning skills and not your working memory.
You need to write everything down op.
It does mean you will always be slower than average but you aren’t unintelligent.
It’s a difficult profile but at least you have good comprehension and long term memory. You can honestly get through college in a non stem field on these strengths alone.
You have to be disciplined though op. Are you a conscientious person?

Op look into Non verbal learning disability. NVLD, it’s similar to autism. They often have profiles like yours

Head injury ruined my life. Was angry for three years and dropped out of school. Bros don't do any kind of sports fighting if you have a good noggin. It isn't worth the risk
