Hello, my 16 y.o. son has received his WAIS profile.

How would you interpret this profile, especially in regard to the FSIQ and the question of gifted/non-gifted, considering that his profile is to some extent "antithetical" to the usual gifted profile from what i've read?

His verbal comprehension and perceptual reasoning were both around 120 (VCI 122, PRI 119), resulting in a GAI of 122 but his CPI was significantly stronger, with working memory at 135 and Processing speed 125. The FSIQ was at 130.

The subtest scores for PRI were BD with 12 SS, VP with 11 SS and MR with 16 SS. I might add that they also administered the Figure Weights subtest in which he got 15 SS, so his fluid reasoning seems to be better then his visuo-spatial thinking, but WAIS PRI seems to put more weight on the latter then fluid reasoning, although i'm sure there are reasons for it.

I would appreciate your feedback very much.
