Definitely. Standard IQ tests are multipart, and people generally score in a certain range, though nor exactly the same, over all the subtests. A significant suppression on one subtest will skew the final number, and should be a huge red flag (though in years past, they were ignored). For example, my youngest daughter's IQ put her in the gifted range-- but we don't know the exact numbers because she had an almost 50 point suppression in her verbal subtest...probably because of that pesky "autistic" thing.
