It means at 13 years old he has a mental age of a 17 and about 5 months year old.

well maybe.
My D when she was 8 took this test & some areas were the equivalent of someone who was 33.
Did that mean she had the mental age of someone decades older?
Or did it mean for a measureable task, she performed equally to someone who was 33.
But say that task was tying your shoes- is there really going to be a significant difference between a mental age of 8 & one of 33?
