I have a question re verbal analogies are they pure measures of verbal intelligence , or are they a mix of logic and verbal skills ? Also do people on the spectrum have problems with them? I ask because I did a Queendom verbal test and scored 86 for analogies but 138 for vocabulary and 143 for verbal comprehension. I notice at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3606476/ verbal analogies are described as being at an abstract level and vocabulary at a concrete level. I certainly have a problem with abstract things. The nurse who does my antipsychotic depot described me as being a concrete thinker. I found this
Verbal analogies also entail relational inference. For instance, in BOOK : PAGE :: CAR : ENGINE one must infer that a PAGE is a part of a BOOK just as an ENGINE is a part of a CAR. My more recent research has investigated how individual differences (in creativity, working memory, or autistic traits) impact performance in solving verbal analogies with pairs from similar domains (e.g., PLATINUM : NECKLACE :: GOLD : EARRING) or different domains (e.g., LEATHER : SADDLE :: GOLD : EARRING).

The analogies are likely measuring abstract rather than concrete verbal reasoning however, so if you are a concrete thinker, you would have trouble with them.
Maybe you should be a structural engineer.
With non-verbal ability around 75 I very much doubt that
Not professionally administered but I did two adaptive non-verbal tests. The JCTI http://www.cerebrals.org/jcti/ which was created by Xavier Jouve who was a psychometrician. I scored 77(range 73-83) on that. I also did the test at Mensa Hungary
https://mensa.hu/tesztiras/online-iq-probateszt and scored 73 on that ( I translated page using google chrome).
The Mensa Hungary link says
While in the traditional tests everyone is faced with the same fixed queue, for the first randomly assigned adaptive test, each person receives the following question depending on their previous responses, customizing an individual IQ test for calibrating his level.Not only does this have the advantage of not having to keep up with fast wear, but also that exact measurement across the range does not require more hours and extreme effort from the filler. For classical IQ tests, this would not be feasible, so psychologists usually use tests that are designed to measure a certain IQ range and often do not give any concrete value but only a narrower range. Although on the internet often "tests" that distinguish between 60 and 80 IQ scores based on a set of 30 fixed questions, this is not possible. During the adaptive test, often several hundred questions are the task 11-24, which is suitable for accurate measurement of filling capabilities.
Was that test professionally administered though? I'd step inside your buildings.
