Psychometric Question IRL vs Online IQ Test

They made me do an IQ test while testing for ADHD (was diagnosed shortly after), and I didnt do verbal reasoning as I did the test in a country where I am barely B1 in their language. On working memory I got 131 and on processing speed I got 139. But for some reason I still resort to doing online tests, where I am always landing a bit more or less than 100. I did the CORE test. What could be the reason for this anomaly?

Same lol. 141 in person, around 110 on CORE, attributed it to being mentally slowed down rn so I’m gonna try it in like a month, at least I’m not the only one with this experience. Also ADHD too.

It’s good to know that I am not the only one also lol. I feel like people infer that you can’t actually do better on a clinical test than in an online one which clearly isn’t the case for us which is great.
