Assessments
My scores, in full
People like one impressive number because it fits in a headline. Brains are less cooperative. These are my full WISC-V and EQ-i:YV results, including the lower numbers that explain daily life rather better than 142 does on its own.
These are test results, not a personality and not a ranking. They describe how I performed on particular tasks on particular days. High scores do not remove autism, trauma, a Non-24 sleep rhythm or the fact that I have no speaking voice, and low scores do not cancel out what I can do.
WISC-Vcognitive assessment
Full scale IQ: 142
The overall score is extremely high. The important part is that my reasoning scores are much higher than my working memory and processing speed. I can understand something quickly and still need time to hold all its steps in place.
Verbal Comprehension Index: 155
Words and abstract ideas are the easiest part of this test for me, which will surprise nobody who has seen the length of my blog posts.
Similarities

Vocabulary

Both subtests sit at the top of the scaled-score range. Having no spoken voice has never meant having no language.
Visual Spatial Index: 145
I am very good at seeing how shapes fit together and turning a pattern around in my head.
Block Design
17
Visual Puzzles
18
These scores fit the part of me that notices layout, framing and the one thing in a picture that is slightly wrong.
Fluid Reasoning Index: 152
This is pattern-finding and logic without needing words. It is one of the fastest parts of my thinking.
Matrix Reasoning

Figure Weights
18
I tend to see the rule before I can explain the route I took to it.
Working Memory Index: 92
Lower than my reasoning scores, but still within the average range.
Digit Span

Picture Span

This is why several instructions piled together can vanish even when I understood every word. One thing at a time is access, not simplification.
Processing Speed Index: 108
Comfortably average to high-average.
Coding

Symbol Search
12
I am usually more interested in getting something right than winning a race through it.
EQ-i:YVemotional intelligence, youth version
Total EQ: 118
A strong, above-average emotional intelligence score on the youth version.
Intrapersonal: 122
Very strong self-awareness and inner reflection.
Self-Regard
121
Emotional Self-Awareness
126
Assertiveness
92
Independence
118
Self-Actualization
125
I usually know what is happening inside me. Saying it quickly, especially in a confrontation, is a different task.
Interpersonal: 128
Very strong empathy and concern for other people.
Empathy
132
Social Responsibility
124
Interpersonal Relationship
129
I notice other people's feelings strongly. That does not automatically make a crowded social room easy to survive.
Stress Management: 88
Stress can hit hard, especially in intense or unpredictable situations.
Stress Tolerance
84
Impulse Control
91
This is the area most likely to dip when sensory overload, pressure or sudden change happens.
Adaptability: 94
Some flexibility, though better in calm, clear settings than in chaos.
Reality Testing
97
Flexibility
90
Problem Solving
99
I can solve the problem. I just do it better when the problem stops changing while I am solving it.
General Mood: 102
Around average. Apparently emotional intelligence tests do not give extra marks for performing cheerfulness.
Optimism
96
Happiness
104
It sits near the middle and does not cancel my depressive disorder or the ordinary good parts of my life.
How to read all of this
The interesting part of this profile is not the top number, it is the distance between the numbers. Reasoning at 152 to 155 next to working memory at 92 is exactly why I need extra time, a clear structure and a quiet place, even though I understand the material immediately. The same is true on the emotional side: empathy at 132 next to stress tolerance at 84 explains why I read a room accurately and still need to leave it.
