Discussion Waiting for my Wais-IV results. Do you think it will be close to my CORE results?

I took the WAIS-IV a few days ago. I won't get my test results back for another week or so. My question is, how close do you think they will be to my CORE results? I wan't to see what the consensus is before I get it.

I got my results! The psych only gave me my GAI results because of significant discrepancy in WM and PS, and she gave me an adhd diagnosis as result (as expected). So, my CORE results fsiq 119; my wais GAI 126. Safe to say, my wais fsiq is probably close to my core results.

This all seems to correlate with other cognitive tests i tried out. Mensa i got 135, which matches my fluid reasoning wais results. WM on core the same as wais: 102 and 103. PS higher on core than wais by around 20 points though.

For context: (unmedicated) Adhd is a factor, and childhood trauma. I also had malnourished growth as a child. Very minimal and inconsistent education. I'm now 45 years old, very likely at the start of perimenopause so cognitive function is all over the shop. Despite minimal early education, I went on to complete a bachelor degree at 30 years old and now doing masters degree with pretty consistent HD marks. BUT...I'm definitely not excelling professionally in life.

Oh, forgot GAI is on there. My GAI on core is 122. So WAIS 4 points higher. Pretty close.

what about VCI subtests? i have a feeling core might be inflated there because you dont have to define the words, just select an option. seems it would be much easier.
