I noticed that the symbol search score was "very superior" (a 17 out of 19 on the scaled scores scale), and the coding was a 12, which is high average. To me the difference was in the involvement of psychomotor skills on the coding, whereas on the symbol search it was pure processing speed. I suck at psychomotor tasks. I lack coordination on a lot of occasions.
Also, the matrix reasoning scores were "superior" (a 14), and it was the block design (again, psychomotor), and the visual puzzles that were "high average." The verbal comprehension overall was a 130 (very superior).
So what differences exist between what symbol search and coding assess?
