Inconsistent Test Results
I am 16 and I took the WAIS as a part of ADHD testing. i scored high In all areas except working memory and processing speed (which I got 113 and 105 on). Results came back negative.
I was extremely anxious while taking the test, and would frequently check over answers I was SURE about (I have OCD and GAD) and I’m convinced it lowered my score.
Overall, my IQ was measured to be 125, which I’m very pleased with, but I have taken IQ tests through school before and usually scored closer to 130+, so this score seems unusual to me.
Considering my age and the situation, would it be reasonable to retake the test in a few years? Here are my scores for reference:
VCI: 129
FRI: 120
QII: 125
VSI: 130+
WMI: 113
PSI: 105 (this I’m most concerned with because I usually get a very high score on this (120+), im totally convinced its due to anxiety, which I’m only now receiving treatment for)
thoughts?
