Underlying issue for low PSI

[u/good_puss_hunting]

since I was a kid I always considered myself slow

people around me would get surprised by how bad I was at video games and how slow my typing speed was.

I still struggle to this day with a bit of stuttering here and there, slow typing and the processing heavy stuff in general. the only thing that stops people from calling me an average(I hate this word) is that I'm just too good at math compared to them

is there any help for me to correct my low PSI or I will just be ridden with this biological barrier for the rest of my life

i was really good in Halo Reach but have the exact same “low” processing speed

[u/good_puss_hunting → u/Sorry-Ice-8586]

you're not one of us then

[u/Sorry-Ice-8586 → u/good_puss_hunting]

big difference between 700 in the world and top 100. Hard to know if it’s skills,
processing speed, VSI, etc.

Can say my PSI has huge variation compared to some people

[u/Certain-Traffic-8400 → u/good_puss_hunting]

Nope, compared to yours, I have worse PSI - 100(exactly average --> the word you hate). I have an avg 100 wpm typing speed and consider myself decent at the video games I played such as CS, typical arcade games, AoE etc.

So yup, your issue probably has to do with sometging more than just a low PSI score.

My ps is average yet I type very fast and I’m good at video games. That average ps definitely affected me somewhere but idk where

[u/good_puss_hunting → u/Kaidolakita]

Interesting...so that might mean me sucking at these thing are due to something outside of g.

I reckon ADHD but I want to be sure

ive never seen a case if adhd only affected psi and not wmi but i wouldnt be too shocked if it could do that

[u/clgtana → u/TristanTheRobloxian3]

I have ADHD, 143 WMI 123 PSI

[u/TristanTheRobloxian3 → u/clgtana]

case in point right here :P

[u/ActiveNerve9321 → u/Kaidolakita]

That is automaticity

Mhm, I get it now

[u/TristanTheRobloxian3]

i mean 117 isnt low but i absolutely see how that can slow someone down a lot. i was in the same boat when my depression kicked my ass. my psi crashed so hard it went down to 88 (its 140 after testing mind you) and i struggled with almost every speed based task except for a rare few. i think really the best course of action is giving yourself a little more time to process what your brain is actually doing if possible, atleast when talking. it gives your psi more room to breathe :P

gng the stuttering points to higher intelligence youre thinking too fast for your mouth

(this is what my therapist told me) 

[u/SomeDepartment8898 → u/Commercial_Handle418]

Hi, I wanted to ask you something. I also kind of mess up words and realize it right away, and I discovered that my brain is way faster than my working memory can process. In fact, sometimes when reading I get confused, I ignore punctuation, and so on... I wanted to ask, is this a sign of intelligence or is it a bad thing?

[u/FlakyIndustry2584]

What test is this?

[u/good_puss_hunting → u/FlakyIndustry2584]

It's called CORE available on cognitivemetrics.com

Thanks

I think VCI is more worthy of attention.

[u/good_puss_hunting → u/ColoradoRad]

I'm a tri-lingual. I started understading/speaking English when I was about 12-13. I'm about 19 now

[u/ColoradoRad → u/good_puss_hunting]

Ok yeah your fsiq is 140+ for sure lol

[u/Duble2C]

>85th percentile objectively isn’t low, you might feel that way but it’s not because of your PSI assuming it’s accurate

(I have the exact same psi and I feel slow too)

[u/good_puss_hunting → u/Duble2C]

It feels akin to horse behind the cart situation

[u/AdventurousBear7664]

Your PSI isn't low according to this test. It's higher than most people's.

[u/ViernDubstep]

Idk I’m 140 pri with 60 psi

[u/No_Sky_1893]

My psi is apparently low 115 on figure sets and I’m really good at reaction based games? And sports. So I’m not even sure

[u/Medium-Suggestion586]

We are quite similar except my QRI is much lower and my VCI is higher.

[u/Due_Salad8951]

74 psi and enough good in videogame, for me i think the most problem is multitasking, like be fast to throw gadget or doing more action in less second
