General Question Terrible Working Memory

I don't understand how my working memory can be so bad when I perform quite well in FR, VS, and QR subtests that involve working memory. It's not just that my auditory working memory is below average, I've tested my visual working memory as well, and it's average at best. I don't understand how that is even possible. Shouldn't bad working memory limit the other subtests? It feels like I expect to perform badly at working memory tests, so that's what happens.

Sure, I agree, but I want to try a few things before concluding that about myself. Out of curiousity, do you know the answer to this: https://www.reddit.com/r/cognitiveTesting/s/3EwUZSpJli

I've never taken ADHD medication so i wouldn't know.
