F74.1: Dissociated intelligence Significant impairment of behaviour requiring attention or treatment

Your intellectual faculties are restricted. Your behavior has changed significantly as a result.

Intelligence involves various mental abilities. Intelligence can be assessed using certain tests. These are called intelligence tests or IQ tests. To take in and use new knowledge, we need mental abilities. These include the abilities to speak, to concentrate, and to memorize things. Under certain circumstances the mental abilities may not develop properly. You may then have difficulties in dealing with other people. Movements may also be changed.

There is a difference between the various abilities. This can include the ability to speak and act.

Your diminished mental ability has changed your behavior significantly. You may therefore need treatment.
