110-119 High Average
90-109 Average
80-89 Low Average
70-79 Borderline
<70 Extremely Low

I tell you I think the psych I used for the Wisc was crappy - she was with AI Dupont but it was terrible experience ... The part labled "extremely low" on that was labled "retarded." Also the "borderline" part was labeled "borderline retarded." Whatever. I can't say I recommend AI Dupont for this stuff for many reasons.
