In the process of diagnosing ADHS (dyslexia, other) disabilities, a IQ test is used to establish a baseline of what other people with a similar result can and cannot do and this is compared to what you can and cannot do.
IQ tests do have uses.
Yup, just like BMI. It's useful for things and the doctors are aware it isn't perfect but that's not what the general population thinks.
"BMI is useless if you have a lot of muscle weight" - Guy with a lot of fat weight
Literally. I've had this happen, and then he proceeded to claim that obesity as a concept was not real. 💀
"I'm not fat, I just have a lot of adipose tissue."
People are allergic to nuance.
dang, i wish they did that for my adhd diagnosis, because i kept looking normal on my tests and had to go on a manhunt to find a doctor who has adhd as well, so they could just vibe check me (and i did, but before that i spent a lot of money on futile tests)
Oooooh that's why they tested me for that. They told me I was faking for drugs because I got a 140 something but I panicked and failed the left right thingy really badly and my MSE results suggested dementia (and I was like, 20). I did finally find a doctor who listened and I've been very functional on Strattera for many years now (which is ironic because it's not even a stimulant / it's functionally useless recreationally). I can't even take simulants because I have too much anxiety.
