Rfv-sense The challenged sense is : "Any disability that affects the intellect or cognitive ability of a person."I've never heard intellectual disability used to mean anything other than low general intelligence. The definition I'm challenging seems like it would apply to specific learning problems like dyscalculia. Leucostictes (talk) 23:48, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
- I took an IQ test with a psychologist and scored very low in certain areas, such as motor and math skills and Visual Spatial memory/reasoning. But overall I scored 98, which is only 2 points below average, so I was not considered intellectually disabled. I have dyscalculia and dyspraxia, but I've never heard people call those conditions intellectual disabilities. So I think it only refers to low general intellectual standing, not problems in certain areas. Leucostictes (talk) 01:27, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
