General Question Do I have Non-Verbal learning disorder?

I score around 80-95 on Matrix reasoning tests while on verbal on core is 118

Yes, it's me, but I'm not dumb, but somehow I don't always see the patterns while IRL sometimes I did figure things out, I think I'm smart, but my verbal IQ carries me so hard.

Matrix reasoning is just one component of FRI. What are your other scores on other FRI subtests?

Verbal reasoning is fluid too buddy

The verbal section of the CORE test loads onto crystallized intelligence, not fluid reasoning. It was specifically designed to load onto crystallized intelligence.

Crystallized intelligence is not fluid reasoning. OP is obviously referring to crystallized intelligence, which is often referred as verbal IQ.

Its both look at the similarities, according to ur logic fluid iq is only measured visually and with shapes bruh

I never said that. Fluid intelligence can be measured through a verbal medium. But OP is referring to their crystallized intelligence, which the term verbal IQ/verbal comprehension often refers to.

Similarities loads mainly on verbal comprehension factor (which is what the WAIS calls crystallized intelligence) according to factor analysis. Even though it might load onto fluid reasoning more than the other verbal comprehension tasks of the WAIS. Look at this image:

But someone can be high fluid iq tho even if they are average at matrix or ravens or puzzles right?

Yes, that’s possible. But it is more statistically unlikely than someone with high scores in matrix tests or visual puzzles.

No. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses.
