This has nothing to do with ADHD.
> i would often under perform on the easier parts and over perform on the harder parts
It is very common that people with ADHD perform better on harder things and will have a problem focusing on simpler (and thus boring) problems.
> This has nothing to do with ADHD.
it literally does have to do with it because it was part of the results of being tested for adhd. i had mentioned the iq thing because i meant to elaborate. it was explained to me that the testing is designed to be independent of iq. however, i am a little suspicious of that fact.
when i say performed well above average i meant that i fell statistically well away from results that point to adhd.
