35 years old mentally retarded male patient. Given MMPI and intelligence test (WAIS). In WAIS the IQ score was found as 75.
It took him approximately 4 hours to finish the test and he ask every single sentence in the MMPI.

Answer 1

Based on the instrument, an IQ of 75 is considered a borderline intellectual functioning IQ. The patient can best be described by an IQ level of between 71 and 84. Normally, an IQ that is lower than 84 means that the cognitive ability of the patient is low. This is why the patient uses a long time to complete the test and may exhibit why the patient faces difficulty while performing certain life activities and tasks.
