Ya, me again. Driving home I remembered that I also had DD4yrs9mths do this Raven's test a few weeks ago, in between the two sessions of the WPPSI testing. She scored 90th percentile for an 8yr old (the youngest age it would let me enter and proceed with the test). I am guessing that equates to higher than 90% for a 4yr9mth old but who knows without norms.
What was interesting to me is that Matrix Reasoning, which this apparently equates to, was the section of the WPPSI that DD was doing so badly on that the psych decided she was tired and pulled the plug! And Picture Concepts & Completion, which I think are closely related, and use the same types of pictures were her weakest scores (both 13s).
I have no idea how matrix reason compares between the WPPSI and WISC, do they use similar pictures (really poor cartoony images)? I wonder if my kids found the pictures hard to relate to compared to the more adult style and straight pattern analysis of the Raven's.
