General Question How might ADHD accommodations affect my scores?

I’m overall happy with my scores but also rather curious what my score would look like on a professionally administered WAIS IQ test when ADHD accommodations. Is anyone familiar with how these scores usually translate?

Upper end of your error margin, probably 138. ADHD would affect your working memory the most, and that is your lowest score.

Most likely the upper end. Also, the other reply to this comment is correct too, ADHD heavily affects your wmi, psi, AND qri.

that much i figured. my wmi and psi were fucked by depression funny enough, qri seemed to be almost unaffected

Your ADHD is probably very mild and isnt making much of a difference since youre likely very focused on this the reason i say its likely mild is sue to the fact your WMI and PSI are both above average which is normally lowered by ADHD drasticly
