Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Williams Syndrome is a genetic disorder that causes developmental delays and intellectual disabilities. However, individuals with Williams Syndrome often have strengths in areas related to language and social skills. The Raven's Progressive Matrices Test does not assess these specific strengths, therefore Tristan's intelligence may be underestimated by this test.
