My verbal I.Q. is quite a bit higher than my performance I.Q. When taking the WAIS, I completely froze on the block design test, bringing my overall I.Q. down to the average range, even though I got high scores on the verbal subtests.

I find that the high iq society test under rates your iq. The Tickle iq test isn't very reliable.

Please do not say that again, unless they really were MR. Because scoring as MR on a test has nothing to do with acting like an ignorant person or acting in a way that you do not agree with.
