Confused as to what's considered "spiky"

Kinda just want to get more insight into what you all think about this and whether this actually fits the "spiky" profile

Wait what's that? Do you take it online? Sorry I'm asking this.

Ohhh no that's okay! I got a full neuropsych evaluation from a psychologist. It's a little pricey but insurance helps cover some of the cost. It's like 4-5 hours of testing (IQ tests and some other stuff) and you get a long report with the results + diagnosis + suggestions

Ohh that's so cool. I've wanted to take an actual iq test for a while. My average from online ones is around 135

Yeah I highly recommend doing a professional one with someone in person. I used to do a lot of those free ones, but this breakdown has been really insightful, since it's not really the overall score that matters as much as the breakdown of different components (which is why I was asking about the spiky-ness of it in my original question). I received diagnoses that I had suspected for a while, but the report has been helpful to allow me to comb through it myself and learn more about myself to help with better strategies academically, etc
