They both also had high working memory and processing speed on the WISC relative to their other WISC indices leaving me wondering if one can appear gifted on a group test through a combo of high speed, memory, and in the box thinking, none if which would necessarily say "gifted" to me.
Yes! This is the type of "gifted" some programs are seeking really. The well behaved model student with motivation, speed, and memory. We walked away from a "gifted" school which clearly sought that type. They are the easy ones to dress up pretty and show off rather than the quirky EG, PG and 2e kiddos.
