My IQ is lower than it should be because I have what you might call "ADD". The final IQ score is an average of scores from a few different tests. I score high on some tests and average (which is actually well below average for college graduates) on others. The resulting score, then, hides my strengths and weaknesses.
Suffice it to say that I would have a hard time getting a job based on my IQ score because I can't do repetitive arithmetic operations as fast as other people.
Yes, my family has ADD in spades. Actually a help in programming jobs - the focus part is great. The intuitive jumping around can be just the thing when chasing a bug.
6 ADD kids from a farming community. One Entrepreneur :), an environmental researcher, a Nursing research specialist, two software directors (Case pumps, Intel) and one IT head.
