Thank you so much for your response - I will look more deeply into 2e. Also spot on on my profession. I do notice that I am rather bad at manipulating 3D objects in my mind (not so for 2D or pattern recognition).

Speaking of scatter and anxiety, I have taken the Ravens Advanced Progressive Mattrices (the official one) 2 years back and the results came back at 172 (I assume a standard deviation of 24. I'm not sure if Raven is still considered as a valid and accurate measurement of iq, but I was thrown off a little by my WAIS results since my results on the matrices sub test was so off. I wonder if this Is common?
