Head injured persons who can perform quite well on such tests may have such breakdowns in learning, memory, and especially executive functions (planning, organizing, self-monitoring) in the unstructured real world that they are totally unable to function. "Average range IQ" and even higher IQ scores should never be the basis for concluding that a client is cognitively intact, and therefore ready to handle mental stresses of the real world.

Bravo, Vini. You are so right-on here. I know that this is an old posting, yet a very worthwhile one to read as I am still reading/catching up on older postings and threads. Thank you for your excellent insight and expression here in The Ten Myths. Sincerely, Theta Z.
