What does it take to make an intellectual disability diagnosis?
For instance if someone took a WAIS IQ test and received the following results:
Working Memory: 97
Processing Speed:65
Verbal comprehension: 120
Perceptual organization: 94
Full scale IQ: 94
Does that person qualify as being somewhat intellectually disabled?

The WAIS is a 100 scale, 15 SD test, so, with the exception of processing speed, the individual falls within the average range, with a superior verbal comprehension. A trained psychoanalyst or other mental health professional would need to conduct further tests to reach a formal diagnosis. The WAIS by itself is indicative, but does not on its own qualify as a diagnosis.
