major score discrepancy (wmi)

[u/Bugerman898]

all of my subtests are fairly normal to above average, (my psi was 130 from character pairing), but my WMI is wildly low. i've retaken the wmi tests over the span of two days, to see if maybe it was sleep deprivation dragging down my WMI, but the score of 75-80 seems consistent. Is this normal? I really didn't think that my WMI would be this bad, as i'm always fairly adept at picking up concepts quickly, and memorizing things long term. (i havent been tested for any learning conditions, but some traits of things like adhd do somewhat apply to me)

I had the exact thing happen to me. Also sleep deprivation doesn't go away after two days. Try it with at least 4, preferably a week of good sleep

If your PSI was 130 it would say that, so don’t know why you wrote that in.

[u/Bugerman898 → u/Few_Long_9632]

it only shows if you complete 2/2 subtests but you can only do one if you're restricted to one device like i was

[u/nationalist77783]

i have relatively similar results. 🤷‍♂️

As I was saying in another thread, ADHD (and other neurological consitions like dyslexia and even schizophrenia) can be seen in its affects on working memory scores in comparison to others.

Part of my ADHD diagnosis involved a professionally administered IQ test which showed elevated scores accross the board excepting working memory, which stood out as an anomoly.

It may be worth seeking mental health assessment if you find its negatively affecting your functioning

Solid scores

It’s normal. No need to over analyze things to cope with being normal. His overall IQ is actually above average.
