So I had this [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/cognitiveTesting/s/vYGdn0yeGb) where I was tested during a very sick day which completely depressed my scores across the board. It was also a short battery with mostly verbal in a non native third language and some math and cube rotation. I was almost exhausted and didn't have the energy to do cube rotation and only did like 3/12.

My treating Psychiatrist told me that the test was invalid because I had a sickness covering the whole week and no IQ testing should be administered when sick. He also thinks I'm Neurodivergent and referred me again for a differential assessment in the next months because the original assessment was like only with questionnaires and my parents painted a normal childhood (they didn't want me to be different and don't believe in all these Neurodivergence). In addition I was diagnosed with depression and I have been taking medicines since the last 2 months - Wellbutrin 300 mg.

Last week after like 2 months of regular medications I was feeling noticeably sharper and i just wanted to take some tests fresh unprepared and got these scores. I didn't want any paid test as they may inflate scores or whatever.

He said it takes 2-3 months until my depression medication restores my baseline cognitive ability. He also told me that IBF-S test score is invalid because of sickness and that doesn't reflect or match my real life achievements so far. 

Even in these tests I kinda ran out of time before completing the last 4-5 questions which depressed my scores a bit because I didn't want to guess when the timer was running out. 

The next differential assessment is in the coming 4-5 months and I hope that includes a standardized cognitive test. 

Tl;dr: I couldn't be so average after all, more importantly I'm not obsessed with this anymore....!
