A little background info: I have been going to therapy for almost a year now. I have been diagnosed with ADHD inattentive type, OCD and mild depression. I take Vyvanse when I wake up and Remeron an hour before I go to sleep. The vyvanse wears off at around 3 or 4PM and I am usually a little irritable and preform tasks slower and my ADHD worsens.
I took an IQ test at the mental health clinic and the person who performed it said that as of right now the results showed I had an average IQ. I was much higher than average at verbal reasoning, vocabulary, the photo sequence thingy (I forget what it's called but you put pictures in order) and the "find what's missing" photos. I did poorly on math, working memory and matrix reasoning. She said my math score was so different than my other scores I almost qualified for a math learning disability. She said that if I had put the puzzles together faster I would have had "superior intelligence" because I put them together right but I took too long to do it. I actually took longer than the designated time limit. Also, she said my working memory, math and matrix reasoning was effected by ADHD. I told her my medication wore off and I function poorly when that happens. I start to have intrusive thoughts mixed with ADHD "brain noise".
She said she can't score it yet thought because she needs to run more tests. I have to take two more tests, one that scores how severely my conditions are and one that deals with autism.
This is where my questions come in. Why can't she score it yet? If someone didn't have my issues wouldn't she be able to score it without further testing? What do these test have to do with my score? I asked her all of these questions and she didn't have time to answer them. I was wondering what this has to do with my score. Have any of you had any of these issues? For those of you that have taken an IQ test, did you have to have further testing?
