We calculated Estimated IQ scores for the assessments in which the Full Scale IQ was obtained and the appropriate subtests were given for Estimated IQ scores. In addition, some assessments contained only Estimated IQ scores

*

P-values were obtained by t-tests comparing sample means with a normative mean of 100 and SD of 15 for standard scores and a mean of 50 and SD of 10 for T-scores

**

P-values were obtained using Chi-square goodness of fit tests, where in a normative population 16% would be expected to have scores <85 (standard scores) or >60 (T-scores)
