When I was in the hospital like 2 years ago I had a bunch of minor neuropsych tests and there was only one I failed. The guy put out his finger in front of me and asked me to follow it with my eyes an then touch it with my left hand or my right. He'd stick out his finger then say "left" "right" "right" "left" "left" etc. This was the only test I failed because I'd put out my left hand instead of my right one or my right instead of my left at times. You were supposed to react immediately so there wasn't any time to think. Does anyone know what this test is called or what sort of neurological dysfunction it is supposed to test? My only guess would be left/right hemisphere interactions, or an impaired corpus callosum (think split brain patients). I couldn't figure out what to type in on google.

I have no idea but failing to discern your left hand from your right hand automatically docks 50+ points from your IQ. FACT.

Indistinguishable right hand and left hand makes my third eye my real hand

i can't tell left from right and use my hands to do it
i also have comprehension issues, so it's probably something deeper

I think you're thinking in the right direction.
I can do arithmetic and prealgebra but that's about it. Then again I've failed or almost failed every grade since kindergarten because absolute zero fucks. They wouldn't make me repeat the grade because my IQ too damn high.

My father DID threaten to sue my middle school for suspending me too many times. Then I had a free pass to do anything I wanted to.

Play games with gamepads. They have triggers on each site. On Playstation 4 it's L1 L2 R1 R2. That will teach you. Trust me.

One time I pushed a kid down the stairs and broke his arm before the statewide test. Got out-of-class suspension for one week. Another time I just threw a pen cap at someone and got out-of-class suspension for an entire week. After a while they didn't give a fuck about leniency and decided they just wanted to keep me out of the classroom at all possible times. I was in class like one day a week so my dad was like "fuck it" and went all "you better stop suspending my son for bullshit or I'll sue", but then they also stopped suspending me for when I told Victoria I was going to follow her home and touching some girl's boobiez until she cried.

Not being able to follow properly with your eyes is a test for schizophrenia and its very accurate.

It's kind of funny that there's that whole Glutamate Hypothesis of Schizophrenia thing, along with the Dopamine Hypothesis of Schizophrenia. Dissociatives are the only drugs AFAIK that alter the glutamate system, while at the same time being dopamine reuptake inhibitors. Mental deterioration drugs for sure but completely worth it.
