Never thought, that I would have to post this. While reading my autism medical documents, from when I was 6 yo (I’m now in my late teens), my father found some logic deficits mentioned. I never knew about it. I seem inteligent, barely do any work for school and still do great. I’m the best in class at maths and some otger subjects. I even solved this and got 110 (I know, online iq tests aren’t reliable, but I think it would have diagnosed intelectual dissability properly). My only logic issues are sudokus (I did them when I was around 6, stopped and now I’m bad at them, practically learning again) and physics at school (not terrible, but below average).

Do I have ID or not, should I test my iq professionally and how does intelectual dissability even show?

And of course for the dramatic effect: “What the hell?”

Edit: I know this is poorly written, am to lazy to edit.

Another edit: Forgot to mention, I’m known to be smart in most groups, some exceptions think I’m stupid, but most of them aren’t really academically sucessful.

    I guess your confusion come from the difference from your expectations (being smart) and what you read (logic deficit)

    Peoples around you say you’re smart but do they say you’re logic?

    Intelligence is hard to define but seem more like a spectrum to me: someone could have very good logic but very bad memory for example.

    Also it’s not because you read it that it’s true. What the test exactly mean by “logic deficit”? How you was when you passed it? How old is it? You changed since you’re six.

    The most important question is: Is it really worrying you, would you actually feel better with a confirmation/disconfirmation?

      Well, I would be happy if I got a disconfirmation of the logic deficit. I think this is how intelectual disability was called back then (the name changes a lot), so it just means inteligence.

      Edit: Forgot to mention, I don’t remember how I was tested, so I can’t really say anythig about it. I’m good at math without serious learning, so I belive my logic is good.

        I don’t know how or where you can pass such test. If you think it will make you feel better you should go for it. Just keep in mind it won’t change what you are, only how you see what you are.

          I don’t think I can still do the test, because it is a primary school special ed identification test, but I could go to a professional iq test, which I think tests for the same thing.
