Intellectual Impairment
Every Para sport sets a Minimum Impairment Criteria (MIC) — the minimum level of impairment an athlete must have to be eligible to compete. Pick your Eligible Impairment (and modality, when it changes the requirement) and Classcope shows the exact official MIC text. It never confirms you meet it — that decision is always made by an accredited classifier during Athlete Evaluation.

This is the official text, not a decision. Meeting it is one stage of Classification, checked by an accredited classifier.
Minimum Impairment Criteria for this combination, straight from the official rulebook.
An Athlete fails the Sport Cognition Test Battery, if the total score is 2/5 or higher. Athletes meet the T/F20 Sport Class Profile with a Sport Cognition Test Battery score of 0/5 or 1/5, in combination with Technical Assessment outcomes as follows: Shot put — Technical Assessment performance and outcomes must match with the findings of the Sport Cognition Test Battery. Horizontal Jumps — Technical Assessment performance and outcomes must match with the findings of the Sport Cognition Test Battery. Track and Road — The second 200m section split time must be within a range of ±1sec to ±4sec of the target time for at least one (1) out of two (2) runs; the Technical Assessment criteria is not met if the results of both runs fall outside the set range (i.e. score 2/2 on the Classification sheet).
Meeting a sport's Minimum Impairment Criteria is one stage of Classification. It does not by itself determine an official Sport Class or Classification outcome.
