Re: Brain Processing Speed Training and More

There you go:

Verbal Comprehension Index (VCI)

Abilities Assessed: Word knowledge, verbal expression
Scaled Score (/19): 14
Classification (Highest = Very Superior): Superior

Information
Abilities Assessed: General knowledge
Scaled Score (/19): 11
Classification (Highest = Very Superior): Average


Perceptual Reasoning Index (PRI)
Index Score: 119
Classification: High Average-Superior
Percentile: 90
Confidence Interval 95%: 112-124
Subtests:

Block Design
Abilities Assessed: Spatial perception and visual perception-fine
motor coordination
Scaled Score (/19): 15
Classification (Highest = Very Superior): Superior

Matrix Reasoning

analyze and synthesize visual stimuli
Scaled Score (/19): 13
Classification (Highest = Very Superior): High Average


Working Memory Index (WMI)
Index Score: 133
Classification: Very Superior
Percentile: 99
Confidence Interval 95%: 124-138
Subtests:

Digit Span
Abilities Assessed: Auditory short-term memory, sequencing skills,
attention and concentration
Scaled Score (/19): 13
Classification (Highest = Very Superior): High Average

Arithmetic
Abilities Assessed: Numerical manipulation and reasoning, attention/
concentration
Scaled Score (/19): 19
Classification (Highest = Very Superior): Very Superior


Processing Speed Index (PSI)
Index Score: 108
Classification: Average
Percentile: 70
Confidence Interval 95%: 99-116
Subtests:

Symbol Search
Abilities Assessed: Processing speed, short-term visual memory, visual-
motor coordination, cognitive flexibility, visual discrimination and
concentration
Scaled Score (/19): 11
Classification (Highest = Very Superior): Average

Coding
Abilities Assessed: Learning ability, visual perception, visual-motor
coordination, visual scanning ability, cognitive flexibility
Scaled Score (/19): 12
Classification (Highest = Very Superior): High Average


By the way, the verbal comprehension subtests are biased towards
American knowledge and since I am no American, is it right to say that
the score does not reflect my true verbal reasoning and comprehension
intellect?
