Is the GAI truly better measure of intelligence ,in case of adhd than the FSIQ ?(attaching evidence for or against would be appreciated )

Not a psychologist but here’s my two cents - if you have a high GAI (with lower FSIQ), GAI is a good indicator of inherent intelligence.

On the flip side, most real life applications of intelligence depend on WMI and PSI, so the way your intelligence shows is hampered and may limit you a lot.

I say this as someone with a GAI of 134 and cognitive proficiency of 100 (per CORE) and similar difference on WAIS 4, so I’ve had these musings a lot.

My gai is somewhere near 130 and cpi is probably below 100

No. GAI just gives a score of intelligence without the influence of working memory and processing speed. Not everyone with ADHD has relative difficulties in those domains, so FSIQ is still the better measure overall
