Very verbal

Post Reply New Topic

My psychologist, who diagnosed me with Asperger syndrome, also took an intelligence test with me. And the results were that I was a very verbal person, and very non-visual. I still don't really understands what this means, and how it affects my learning and such. Because I like things like science and maths more than languages like German and French and even my own language Dutch. But isn't it supposed to be the opposite? Because according to my intelligence profile, shouldn't I like languages instead of science stuff?
Now what she also said is that it is common for people with Asperger syndrome to be more verbal than visual oriented. Yet I have heard that many people with an AS disorder think in images instead of words. Or is this only the case with those of us that are non-verbal? I don't know, but I like to think in images too.

Can anybody help me out with this? Because I'm puzzled.

It has to do more with how you learn and conceptualize than where your interests lie. You could be a very physical learner and heavily into languages - in which case I would not be able to teach you much.

By the same token, a high verbal score thee does not imply you talk a lot.
