Autism=Poor executive function? Try the flexibilty test.

What is "processing speed IQ"? How/where do you measure that?

It was part of the IQ test I took when I went in for autism testing. They assessed my IQ using the WAIS-IV, along with administering various other tests, including the ADOS. It was through my psychiatrist.

Flexibility
Accuracy: 67th percentile (Overall 1384ms 188 of 192 = 97,9%)
Speed: 6th percentile.

I sweated over right and left, though. Mixed them up a few times.

Accuracy 12th percentile
Response time 36th percentile

I can make mistakes relatively quickly!

Average: 908ms 90.8%

definately taking this test , later

Update: Still haven't found a good NT forum where people would participate. It was either blocked or no one responded., I'm still waiting for a response on the researchers, and how they gather the data. Again, my gut feel is that the percentiles are off, so I would like to see how NTs would respond.

Any one know any super-NTs (great social skills) willing to be a guinea pig?

Wow so many aspies do so poorly on this.

I am not sure, that I understand these percentiles. What are they? What is a good result and what is poor?

Spatial: Accuracy 50/67
Speed 78,1th pctl

Attention: Accuracy 4th pctl
Speed 75th pctl

Balloons: 30 (6% popped) 470 points (6 pctl).

Stroop: Speed 615 pctl
Accuracy 32nd pctl

Verbal: Accuracy 4th pctl
Speed 23th pctl (English is not my native language)

Higher is better --> if you score in the 60th percentile then you scored better than 60% of people who took the test.

OK, so 23 percentile in speed is incredibly slow

But what is ms? And why does it say: Flex: overall 1384 ms, 188/192 = 97% AND accuracy 67 pctl, speed 6 pct.

How do I read/understand that?

"ms" is milliseconds, so you got 1.384 seconds.

The "188/192 = 97%" is probably how many correct 'points,' and the "67pctl" and "6pctl" are the percentiles which mean that you scored better than 67% of people who took the test in accuracy, and better than 6% of people in speed.

For the "pctl," imagine that 99% of people only got 10% of the questions right. In that case, getting 96/192 = 50% of the questions correct would probably put you above the 90pctl (which would mean that you scored better than 90% of people who took the test). (I can't say exactly what the pctl in that example would be because it would require doing some math and I'm really tired.)

Thank you

Overall 906ms 192 of 192
100.0%

Overall accuracy: 96th percentile.
Response time: 36th percentile.

Spatial memory test is also interesting.

Overall 1215ms 63 of 64
98.4%
Overall accuracy: 97th percentile.
Response time: 30th percentile.

Reflects short term visual memory. I can remember their places very well, but my reactions are slow. Typical for an aspie though.

I couldn't remember whether the left was for circle or triangle. I think I got it exactly backwards.
61%ile on accuracy. Speed was 1185ms, but I don't recall seeing a percentile score for that.
