My understanding is that scores might indicate 2E if the discrepancy between scores on different sections of the test are large enough - but sometimes I wonder how that can be, since there are lots of gifted people with average scores for working memory and processing speed and obviously much higher scores for the other two sections, from which the GAI is derived, and surely not all of them are 2E. Am I wrong in the following respect - for an official LD, must the lower scores be exceptionally low compared to average, or is it just compared to the higher scores??

I think that a discrepancy between IQ score and achievement is an alternative way to identify a person as 2E.

I guess I'm just as confused. Since my kids have learning "issues", I think of them as 2E, whether or not they meet some specific definition.
