fortalezas consigo mismo
.
No evidenció fortalezas sobre promedio, ni fortalezas consigo mismo en las subpruebas que miden.
In the subtests measured, he demonstrated neither above average strengths, nor strengths within himself.
I do not feel comfortable with "strengths within himself". Self-strengths?
Any suggestions very welcome. Thanks in advance!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

"Personal strengths" would be rather misleading here.
| Thanks for the explanation Robert - this is making more sense to me now. |

Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, 3rd. ed. (WISC-III) 1991
The WISC-III is an individual test that does not require reading or writing. Verbal subtests are oral questions without time limits except for Arithmetic. Performance subtests are nonverbal problems, all of which are timed and some of which allow bonus points for extra fast work. One criticism of the WISC-III is that older students must earn speed bonuses to obtain better-than-average scores. Subtest scores, IQ scores, and factor index scores are based on the scores of the 2,200 children originally tested in a very carefully designed, nationwide sample, but still must be interpreted very cautiously for any individual, especially one who may have somewhat unusual patterns of strengths and weaknesses. As with any test, influences such as anxiety, motivation, fatigue, rapport, and experience may invalidate test scores. Because U. S. children are improving in the skills tapped by intelligence tests, the 1991 WISC-III usually gives lower scores than did the 1974 WISC-R to the same
