Funny thing about making generalizations re: verbal vs. mathy. Eldest has ALWAYS been overtly mathy. Younger brother has great vocabulary, taught himself to read at age 4 and is great speller. So, I've always thought of him as more verbal than math. Well, wouldn't you know ... at end of 2nd grade and then in 3rd grade this year, the county and us have done all sorts of testing on the younger one. On everything, he's scored extremely high on ... QUANTITATIVE. Much more so than verbal. DH theorizes that he actually second-guesses the verbal questions b/c he is so literal.
Still, never would have thought the testing would show what it did.
