Greetings. I had a WAIS-IV done a few months ago, though I'm not technically an adult.
Here's my score for it:
106 Verbal Comprehension
102 Perceptual reasoning
106 Working Memory
119 Processing Speed

My working memory score should be better, but it discovered I have a learning disability in this. My scores are all over the place for working memory. It ranged from 0.8% to 91% (just working memory, not any other type of memory).

I don't have AD/HD (apparently), but I know working memory problems is a type of executive function, which people with AD/HD usually lack, which is why professionals are starting to see it as a LD, instead of something on its own. This is a good thing for people in Ontario, Canada, since it's hard to get accommodations when you just have AD/HD since to them medication is a "cure". Unless they have a co-morbid LD or severe behaviour problems, they won't be able to get accommodations. I'm sorry, I just realized I went off topic.

Processing speed may be associated with AD/HD, but I know that carelessness when doing stuff would lower the processing speed score (which the psychologist made notes on about my carelessness).
