Intelligence testing is really bizarre -- I had mine done a couple months ago, and my results came out that I was both learning-disabled (executive functioning and memory) and a genius (my verbal intelligence is in the 99.8th percentile).
Personally I don't put all that much stock in it. I do, however, find it very amusing to tell people about my disparate results, lol.
It's called twice-exceptional, meaning that you are out of the average range in both directions. Learning disability + giftedness is not as rare as you might think, but it's not always recognized. Sometimes giftedness masks the learning disability, and sometimes it's the other way around. I'm also twice-exceptional, and I'm sure many on WP are as well.
