A member asked:

If you have adhd can you take the iq test in the same time limit as some one with out adhd?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No. It will read : Falsely low. This is why with the americans with disabilities act, psychiatrists are able to request that students be given more time to take tests then there fellow classmates. Also, taking the test in a non-distracting environment would be essential for an accurate reading. One of the problems however is that the test itself is designed to be completed within a certain period of time so giving you the same amount of time will give a falsely low reading, but giving you more timewill mean that it is being scored essentially outside of the guidelines for scoring and could yield a falsely high reading.Best wishes.
