Hello!
I recently got my IQ tested. I scored a full scale IQ of 121 on the WAIS-IV. My sub-scores were:
130 Verbal Comprehension
115 Perceptual reasoning
95 Working Memory (yikes...)
124 Processing speed
I wonder if the high processing speed is consistent with ADHD. I know that my more-or-less average WM is. But I have read that people with ADHD also struggle with processing speed.
What are your two cents on this?
(The person who administered this is not allowed to interpret the scores. I just want to hear different opinions).
Processing speed is how quickly one can, well, process information, how many bits of information can be processed by your brain per X interval of time. That by itself does not seem contrary to the idea of ADHD, but it makes me wonder since so many people who are brilliant do not do as well on PS.
