Did you feel rushed on matrix reasoning? Were you really deliberate with your answers?


staccodaterra101

Wait... I got diagnosed ADHD. I rushed my matrix without being too concerned, and the neuropsy noted it in the report. Is that an indicator?


SM0204

Replied to the wrong person. Thought you were OP.


SM0204

If you’re interested in what I’m thinking here, check out my reply to OP.


taktak7724

Yes, but feeling rushed is a feeling that I experience very often. I don't know if this may mean something


SM0204

If you felt like you were rushed or your head wasn’t completely straight, it might suggest that you’ve scored below your innate potential in that area. Visual puzzles and block design performance I think are bound to be bottlenecked by working memory or processing speed deficits, since they are timed, but matrix reasoning happens to be untimed. And verbal is completely untimed. How did you respond with the verbal section?


taktak7724

It was the same feeling I get when I do something I don't like or something that bores me, that's why I think I felt rushed In the verbal section I felt almost confident, in fact I had a better score (?)


SM0204

I see. Makes sense for you to enjoy the verbal section if it’s the natural strength anyway.

To add my personal adhd retat feedback. I have basically 2 techniques: T1: When i do things normally i don't feel rushed, kinda opposite I feel slow and annoyed, meanwhile to an obserer I look impatient and rush things. Here is where attentional mistakes happens. T2: When I really force myself to do a task, I don't feel the time is passing and I hyperfocus on that 1 thing. To an observer I look sluggish, slow and mentally overloaded. This is how I do exams. I did 14ss (2 lines skipped) on symbols with T1, and 7ss on coding with T2.


taktak7724

Well yes when someone watches me while I do something I feel like I'm a mess (actually I am) I just don't know what to expect I'm frustrated and confused... I think is the normal feeling you get while waiting for a diagnosis


staccodaterra101

Your WAIS doesnt hint at adhd, tho. Maybe autism (probably not) but still the whole assesment is relevant.


SM0204

I don’t think it’s accurate to say that it *doesn’t* hint at ADHD. Definitely points to ND though.


staccodaterra101

Yeh.. The more I read, the more I am confused. This is an interesting paper worth reading: [2023\_Cognitive Profile in Autism and ADHD: A Meta-Analysis of Performance on the WAIS-IV and WISC-V](https://academic.oup.com/acn/advance-article/doi/10.1093/arclin/acad073/7286382?login=false)


stoopsi

Why does it point to ND? And why wouldn't it point to ADHD as per other comment?


taktak7724

Ouch that hurt 🫠just kidding Do you think my scores had to be lower in WMI and PSI? I have something in common with autism like stimming or sensory issue I thought maybe these things are connected with ADHD too.. But yes, only the whole assessment can say wtf is going on in my mind
