Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is commonly diagnosed in adulthood. Recent research has focused on the cognitively heterogeneous nature of the disorder highlighting the diagnostic complexity of making an ADHD diagnosis in adulthood. Several studies have suggested that despite functional impairment diagnosing ADHD in adults with higher general intelligence is challenging as differences are not readily detected by neurocognitive assessment. The present study explored the relationship between varying levels of IQ and attention and executive functioning performance in adults with ADHD. Comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations were administered to 234 adults who presented to an outpatient neuropsychology clinic for the purpose of diagnostic clarification and treatment planning. These data were deidentified and archived in a database. Separate MANOVA tests were performed on these data, examining the relationship between intelligence, attention, and executive functioning. Two groups were separated into adults diagnosed with ADHD or a clinical comparison group, and then both of these groups were divided into four common General Intelligence Index (GAI) IQ ranges used by neuropsychologists. Results revealed few differences between the ADHD group and clinical comparison for all measures given. Significant effects were found for IQ however, in both the ADHD group and clinical comparison. These data suggest IQ does indeed "mask" (Milioni et al. 2017; Keezer et. al. 2021) performance-based deficits in adults presenting for an ADHD evaluation, but that this masking effect is also present in other clinical groups. Implications, future directions, and conclusions are presented.
