Fascinating topic.

DD and I took an executive function skills class and we reviewed this whole list. My takeaway is that some items are strengths and some are weaknesses -- for everyone.

DD for example, has always been excellent at the metacognition, self-monitoring / evaluating types of skills (to an almost problematic degree). Her emotional control is crap though, something she gets from me.

I was really disorganized until college, now I organize things for a living (I'm a PM). But my emotional control is still one of my biggest challenges.

Working memory is an EF skill and yet it's also highly correlated with IQ. DD has a super high working memory, but has a terrible time with flexibility.

I think the caution is to be careful of treating EF skills like one thing.
