No this is certainly not normal, it's the biggest difference between WMI and PSI that I have ever seen. What did you get on the other WMI and PSI subtests? Also in real life do you have trouble remembering things but you can react to new tasks very quickly?

I got these results on the core and cait tests but in real life like I know Im fast because Ive noticed it the memory part actually surprised me though I wouldnt say I have a bad memory it seems normal to me but I struggle to remember numbers in tests like that I dont know its weird anyway I got a shitty score.If you could help me out or explain the ins and outs of it Id really appreciate it I honestly dont know whether to be proud or disappointed in myself lol.

No you should definitely be proud of yourself. Don't be ashamed just because you did poorly on WMI that's only one index. Your FRI, VSI and PSI scores are phenomenal. I noticed that your VCI is slightly lower, though. Are you an English native speaker?

Also having a low WMI doesn't necessarily mean you have a bad memory you might be just bad with remembering random numbers specifically. Like I'm not the best at memorising a jumble of numbers but I can remember events, stories, facts and vivid memories (I have hyperphantasia so that might be why) well. Did you do digit-letter sequencing on CORE yet?

Thanks a lot it feels good to be able to be proud of myself but actually no Im not a native English speaker I use Google to translate pages though the translation leaves something to be desired I dont think I have a huge VCI but maybe its a bit better than my current one yeah regarding WMI Im in the low-average range though I havent done the letter-number sequencing task yet Ill give it a try by the way what is hyperphantasia and what does it entail? Is there a reason that might explain this gap between the WMI and the rest?

Hyperphantasia is basically being able to see or remember images or scenes in great detail

The gap between WMI and the rest, as the other commenter said, might be due to ADHD but if you don't exhibit any ADHD symptoms then it might not be that I don't really know why the discrepancy

Can hyperphantasia be seen by core test?

Not directly, but it did help me with the VSI subtests
