, 1. Persistent patterns of anxiety and mood swings
2. Persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity
interfering with daily functioning
3. Difficulty with motor coordination and speech production
4. Restricted interests and repetitive behaviors without attention problems
Q4.
Executive dysfunction commonly seen in individuals with ADHD involves
difficulties in:
1. Basic sensory perception and reflexes
2. Higher-level cognitive processes such as planning, organizing,
controlling emotions, and finishing tasks
3. Language comprehension and vocabulary acquisition
4. Physical coordination and balance
Q5.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is primarily marked by:
1. Challenges in social communication and restricted or repetitive
behaviors and interests
2. Severe intellectual disability without social impairments
3. Hyperactivity and impulsivity without social difficulties
4. Motor coordination problems and speech delays only

leading to inaccurate or unjust results
3. The natural variability in test scores among individuals
4. The intentional manipulation of test scores by examiners
Q11.
Psychological testing and measurement involve:
