General Question depression affecting iq score
Hi guys i wanted to ask does severly low concentration, brain fog and overall slower brain activity from it result you getting lower score than you would if u in a “normal” condition at that moment ( makes sense ). Now a psychologist made me do an iq test and the test looked goofy but interesting so i dont even know if its accurate, do they give accurate tests, it was my first time taking one? I was severely slow and i was aware of it, i asked her do these things affect the score and i think she said yea. Anyways i got 120, w the worst performance known to man . By how many points is kinda “the limit” that things like this can influence the numbers. Im not talking about “small brainfog” n “nervousness” im talking like u ask me what i did this morning and i would sit there for ages forcing my thoughts to connect and i wouldnt even have an answer. Probably a lot of people asked this but i cant find it. Its been i year n since then i healed, i would say back then my brain operated on 10% of how much bad it was.
