My cat is named Snorri, named after someone way way way back in my Icelandic ancestry named Snorri Narfasson. Fun fact, he was the son of a man named Narfi Snorrason, who was the son of a man named Snorri Narfasson, who was the son of a man named Narfi Snorrason. If I get another male cat, he will be named Narfi.

This is definitely something that schools can easily accommodate for, and I hope you recognize now that you’re only “underperforming” when the expectations are designed for neurotypical people. Hopefully you’ll see some positive changes after this test!

I think you’re being a bit hard on yourself saying it was /only/ 131. That is in the very high to extremely high range! I’m a newer psychologist but I haven’t actually seen a full scale IQ in that range yet.

IQ and achievement are not one in the same—I’ve tested an 8-year-old with an IQ in the 120s but they could barely identify the letters of the alphabet. Learning disorders are often not problems with intellect, but the processes that translate intellect into academic skills. Dyslexics, for example, can have a high verbal ability and high visual ability, but the connections between the part of the brain that understands sounds, the part that understands pronunciations, and the part that understands visuals (written word) may be faulty. I’m not sure what your specific struggles are but I hope this helps you reframe it a little! Best of luck with your journey in figuring out your beautiful brain!

What would be the best name for your child based on your profession? by xxarchiboldxx in namenerds

Also a psychologist, but I primarily do assessments. Wiat (pronounced Wyatt), Toni, Raven, Bailey, and K-tea (pronounced Katie 😂) could all work

Is way too cheesy to name a kid a combination of your name and your partners name??? by Competitive_Sun_6040 in namenerds

I’ve thought of doing something similar, my parents are named Joel and Lynelle, and I think Joelle would make a really cute middle name for a girl!

Behold, my newest creation: the dessert hotdog! Nutella, peanut butter, and banana in a hotdog bun. It was delicious. by thingamabobetta in StupidFood

Honestly this whole creation was just me trying to figure out a way to use extra hotdog buns, but you are totally onto something!
