Related to iq and impulsivity
My 9y old son has been showing some distinct habits and characters. His friends describe him as his thought racing really fast that they can't catch hold. He has made some drawings as k have attached. Psychologist suggest psychometric assessment from niepid. And the report is also attached. I'm somehow skeptical is this report explains his abilities and shortcomings. He literally thinks in systems and can go really deep into his designs. Teachers say he is very highly creative and his ideas are "out of the world", but goes lost in the class and needs to be called back in order to complete the class work. Extremely good at robotics. But He has difficulty in writing as his hands pain. Impulsively does things even knowing that's inappropriate. Can't hurry up even when he's being repeatedly told that less time is left. I'm not understanding if it's naughtiness or something else. Kindly help me understand.

It seems to be ADHD with LD. It needs to be ruled out with other psychometric analysis.
It needs to be treated asap otherwise it may get complicated and can affect his behavior and performance later.
It can be well treated with counseling sessions and homeopathic medicine effectively and without any side effects.
It needs to be addressed in a holistic approach for complete recovery.
You need an expert psychologist who is a good homeopathic physician.

He is intelligent but his brain needs to be arranged in such a way that it can develop. See a psychologist if possible.

Kindly reach out to a clinical psychologist in person for a comprehensive neurodevelopmental profile assessment rather than a basic IQ test.
Also try an occupational therapist who can help us in assessing his grip,build hand strength, and who can also recommend ergonomic pencil grips

Your son's profile—racing thoughts, deep system-based thinking, "out of the world" creativity, robotics skill, but handwriting pain, impulsivity, and getting lost in class—points to a twice-exceptional (2e) profile, likely gifted with a coexisting issue like ADHD, dysgraphia, or sensory processing differences. The psychometric report from NIPID is a starting point, not a full picture, because standard tests often miss uneven gifted profiles. The handwriting pain and impulsivity are not naughtiness; they suggest a neurological or motor coordination issue that needs separate evaluation. Since this is affecting his classroom function, consult a developmental pediatrician or child psychologist who specializes in giftedness and learning differences to get a proper integrated assessment.
