Should i just directly ask my therapist to let me take the wais

[Deleted member 168554]

The wais stands for weschler adult intelligence scale
Basically THE official iq test
I wanna get it done ot seenif i have adhd since my wmi (working memory) and psi (processing speed) are low as fuck which is typical amongst people with adhd

In the WAIS (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale) context, PSI and WMI are two of the four main Index Scores that make up a person’s cognitive profile. Here’s what they mean:

















WMI – Working Memory Index








What it measures:

• Your ability to hold, manipulate, and use information in your mind over short periods.
• Mental focus, concentration, and basic mental arithmetic.

Core subtests:

1. Digit Span – repeat sequences of numbers forward, backward, and in order.
2. Arithmetic – solve math problems mentally (no paper).

Supplemental subtest:

• Letter-Number Sequencing – reorder jumbled letters and numbers (e.g., “C-3-A-1” → “1-3-A-C”).

Why it’s important:

• Reflects attention, concentration, and mental control.
• High WMI is associated with good problem-solving, reading comprehension, and academic performance.

PSI – Processing Speed Index








What it measures:

• The speed and accuracy with which you can scan, process, and respond to visual information.
• Attention to detail and fine motor speed.

Core subtests:

1. Symbol Search – quickly determine if a symbol is present in a list.
2. Coding – copy symbols paired with numbers using a key, as fast as possible.

Supplemental subtest:

• Cancellation – scan rows of shapes and mark target shapes.

Why it’s important:

• Measures efficiency in simple, routine visual tasks.
• Slower processing speed can affect test-taking, reading fluency, and real-life tasks like form-filling or scanning environments.

Quick Comparison:

Index	Focus	Skills Assessed
WMI	Mental “RAM”	Focus, mental math, short-term memory
PSI	Speed & efficiency	Visual scanning, attention, motor speed

Would you like help understanding what high or low scores in these areas mean functionally or clinically
