verbalhigher?

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone dx'd with aspergers (for social impairment) and NLD (learning profile) and score much higher verbal on IQ?

yes, i have been, why?

Yes, I think that would be typical (or at least stereotypical). On a recent IQ test my verbal score was 49 points higher than nonverbal...

EDIT: Ah, but I haven't been diagnosed with NLD. I do seem to fit the profile, though.

is there any tests online to figure out if you score higher verbal or is the whole point to do the test verbally?

Yup. My verbal score is several standard deviations higher than my performance score.

yes, there is

it's more to do with what words you understand. i think i scored 90.

i'm a visual thinker, so my verbal IQ is just average. a couple years back it would have been quite low. i still have problems with remembering words and what they mean. my performance IQ is slightly higher than average, not enough to be above average.

I don't think so. I think you would need to take the WISC/WAIS or the Stanford-Binet, which are psychologist-administered tests. I don't think Internet IQ tests break down that way. I don't know much about the Stanford-Binet, but the WISC/WAIS tests consist of a bunch of subtests (12 or 13 or so) and take about an hour to administer. Some of the subtests contribute to the "verbal IQ score," some the "performance IQ score," and then there are other indices, like processing speech and working memory, and of course, the "full-scale IQ".

I got a 78 on the online test. I can get the meaning of words by looking at the context it's in pretty well... but when it's just random words, no. I'm also bad at reading comprehension.

I got 630 on verbal, and 490 on math, on my SATs. Why I remember that 33 years later is a mystery to me...

I got a 99.87. But what's NLD? Since I don't know what that is, I probably don't have it. In that case, ignore me.

Wow! I have slightly over a 30 pt spread between performance IQ and verbal. I have severe nonverbal learning disability.

NLD is knowing a lot of information, expressing yourself very well, while at the same time struggling with basic life because you can't apply what you know. This relates to being able to read a map (I can't!) follow directions to get somewhere, being able to read faces and being able to understand anything without words.

My SATs were 730 verbal and 533 math. I was barely passing math at the time - had loved algebra but couldn't get geometry for the life of me. I also remember these scores decades after I tested, Pakled - you're not alone .

On the verbal IQ test mentioned above I scored 135 subfactor IQ and 99 subscale percentile.

I was recently dx'd with aspergers disorder but never with NLD.

My son's diagnosis, that's why, and it was based on high verbal and low peformance and other criteria. I haven't found many that were diagnosed with these two diagnoses- either one or the other.

Can you explain your learning style? Difficulties in school? Why the evaluator diagnosed you with both NLD and Aspergers, if in fact you know why.

Thanks, equinn.
