Wechsler IQ test results - what were yours?

Post Reply New Topic

I present my results of professional Wechsler IQ test, I had professional Wechsler IQ test with a psychologist above eight years ago (May 2016). The results were:

- Full Scale IQ 117,
- Verbal IQ 126,
- Performance IQ 104.

VCI (Verbal Comprehension Index): 125,
POI (Perceptual Organization Index): 100,
WMI (Working Memory Index): at least 120, if I remember well,
PSI (Processing Speed Index): at least 120, if I remember well.

Verbal part:
- Arithmetic 18,
- Information 17,
- Vocabulary 14,
- Comprehension 13 (or 14?),
- Similarities 13 (or 14?),
- Digit Span 11.

Performance part:
- Block Design 14,
- Coding 13,
- Object Assembly 9,
- Picture Completion 9,
- Picture Arrangement 8.

Highest score (in Arithmetic) was analogous to IQ 141 and lowest score (in Picture Arrangement) was analogous to IQ 89.

The results of my test suggested schizoaffective disorder according to Rabin and Piedmont formula.

My premorbid IQ was estimated as 129.

The results were atypical for ASD (good Comprehension, good Coding) and, despite VIQ>>PIQ by 22 points and VCI>>POI by 25 points, atypical for NVLD because good Block Design and Coding and obvious lack of dyscalculia (Arithmetic has the highest score from all the subscales).

All I can remember is that my processing speed f*****g sucks.

The last time I was tested, my IQ was 115. That was when I was 17.

Same here.

My processing speed and working memory dropped my full scale iq to a comically low 87. Now that's embarrassing. Apparently I have so much variance in my skill set that iq cannot be accurately tested.

Really? If yes, it would be a "coincidence". My FSIQ, VIQ and PIQ were the same, but I had the test six years earlier.

My report wasn't that detailed.
My general IQ is 117.
VCI: 120
POI: 116
WMI: 112

For my processing speed, that's a different story, I got 89.

Niktereuto - the pattern which emerged in your results (VCI>POI/PRI>WMI>PSI) was observed, on average, in the group of 27 individuals with Asperger syndrome whose results were used in Identyfying Nonverbal Learning Disability Using the WISC-IV: Establishing Diagnostic Differences (Fielding Graduate University, 2010). In this sample the gap between VCI>PRI>WMI and PSI was not as large as in your case, however (you have 23-point difference between WMI and PSI, on the chart the difference between average values of WMI and PSI for the sample diagnosed with Asperger syndrome appears to be about 8 points).

In my Wechsler IQ profile there were Arithmetic-Information top in VIQ and Block Design-Coding top in PIQ. Next subscales on VIQ and PIQ were at least 3 or 4 scaled scores lower than them, which is interesting. And all these four belong to different indexes: Arithmetic to WMI, Information to VCI, Block Design to POI, Coding to PSI. No Coding weakness is atypical for profiles of autistic disorder, Asperger syndrome and nonverbal learning disability (in NLD Block Design is also weak) - I saw charts of average WISC-IV profiles of groups of children with different developmental disorders (like, for example: autistic disorder, Asperger syndrome, NVLD, learning disability in math, learning disability in reading) and Coding was, on average, an obvious weakness in autistic disorder, Asperger syndrome and NVLD profiles.

Yesterday at evening I found out that my WAIS-R profile from 2016 is strikingly similar to average WAIS profiles of mathematically and scientifically talented students

In these profiles, on average, Block Design is much better than Picture Completion, Object Assembly and Picture Arrangement, Processing Speed Index is good in comparison to average Asperger syndrome profiles (where it is the biggest weakness), Information is the best of Verbal Comprehension Index subscales and Information is quite significantly better than Similarities while Vocabulary is somewhat better than Similarities. Arithmetic is better than Digit Span by about one scaled score, but in my profile Arithmetic was better than Digit Span by seven scaled scores!

I have "AI giftedness" (Arithmetic-Information giftedness) because scaled scores of these two subtests were in extremely high range, but also I had "POP valley" (Picture Arrangement-Object Assembly-Picture Completion valley) with scaled scores somewhat below 10 (below 50th percentile) in my WAIS-R test results. POP valley is frequent in WAIS profiles of mathematically and scientifically talented students, I am interested why. Scaled scores of Picture Arrangement, Object Assembly and Picture Completion have not to be all below 10 in their profiles, of course, if they all form a valley below Block Design are all lower than 10 and lower than Block Design (especially when Block Design is 12+ in scaled score), then it suggests ASD, (mere) mathematical and scientific talent without ASD. Not all people with ASD and at least high average FSIQ have to have one-digit scaled scores of Picture Arrangement, Object Assembly and Picture Completion, of course. POP valley is not essential for ASD diagnosis, I would say that weaker Processing Speed Index is also not necessary (I had pretty strong Coding scaled score, 13), but weakness in Processing Speed Index is really often found in ASD WISC or WAIS profiles.

depending on how I felt on test day, i've ranged from 70 to 135. good rest, good nutrition, a sense of relaxation and a sense of stress are important.
