(I suspect he may have never actually seen a gifted child)

And if he gets a lot of heat, the tester might respond by practicing more defensively and "giving parents what they want" rather than learning more about how to use testing to find out about how a child works and how to help them interface with the world.

I sure wish there were a way to open his mind to new learning on this topic. Having peers/professionals provide constructive feedback might help. A good supervisor could go a long way too.

You're right, of course, and I did mention to the psychiatrist that I suspected the very thin report was due to Thr neuropsych being twerked with my having actually questioned his results. The psychiatrist's opine is that it had to be more than that, because it wasn't just the report that wasn't up to par; he was also concerned by the failure to follow through with additional testing.
