When I originally started gettng diagnosed for all my schtick, one of the tests was a very involved test with a neuro-psychiatrist (or whatever they are called) testing for ADD, learning disorders, and things like that. One of the results of the test was and IQ score.
You might consider instead of looking into an IQ test for it's own sake, getting something like this which encompasses also what other problems might exist.
In fact, he said that because he found I was ADHD, and had some learning disorders, that the score he arrived at would actually be considered at least 25 points less (possibly evfen more than 25) since I had no help in learning compensatory skills at that time, and that after I did, if I retook a test, I'd probably have it raised.
He was right, a few years later, when I took a 2nd IQ test, the score came out 35 points higher than the original.
Where does that get me? I'm a genius, but can't remember how to tie a shoelace or pass a test. Go figure. Go figure.
