Dottie,

the test that she is going to make is a Dutch one and is the only one used for admision in the new GT schools that are starting in NL.

Besides, right now DD's verbal skills while impressive in some areas, are not what one would expected of a GT child. For example her vocabulary is spread among three (or four if one counts her passive English) languages and she lacks lots of exposure to culture in any of the languages. I can see in the Spanish for example when she sees something that she cannot recognize - something that is common in the spanish culture, like a pig's leg (the famous 'jamon serrano'). You do not see this pig's leg here in the supermarket, so when she saw a drawing of one, she had no idea what was it, but any spanish child will identify without any problem.
The same goes with expressions, and other 'common knowledge' cultural things.

About the test anyway:

However, level of language development, for example, being able to name objects, characteristics and concepts, can influence the ability to solve the problems correctly. Therefore the SON-R 2,5-7 should be considered a nonverbal test for intelligence rather than a test for nonverbal intelligence.

I just forgoted: the test has been postponed to the 6 of June.
