How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that an invalid MMPI score in conjunction with substantial evidence can discredit a qualifying IQ score
• concluding substantial evidence supported the ALJ’s finding that despite claimant’s IQ score, other evidence in the record was inconsistent with an intellectual disorder
• noting the importance of the narrative report that accompanies a claimant’s IQ score in considering whether the IQ score is valid
• rejecting a § 12.05(C) mental retardation claim where an IQ score of 69 was inconsistent with other evidence and there was good reason to believe that the claimant exaggerated his problems
• rejecting claim of intellectual disability despite IQ score due to evidence that 4 Case: 17-11999 Date Filed: 08/24/2018 Page: 5 of 6 claimant had associate’s degree, was enrolled in college, and worked in several jobs
• I.Q. scores properly discredited where inconsistent with claimant’s college record and work history as an algebra teacher
