Thanks, everyone! Squishys and blackcat - yes, I wonder, too, whether the WISC doesn't work better for identifying the strengths of a chatterbox
(like my DD, but NOT like my DS)! Ideally, a test would pick up on the various strengths and weaknesses of various children, so that we know how to best help them learn.
blackcat - it sounds like your DS did very well on the WISC. But he might do even better on another (better for him) test in the future. Also, I wonder if some DC just may do better when they are older (if your DS is retested in a couple of years) - I think that testing a younger child just might have many variables (and that is why I am wondering about whether my DS is old enough). Perhaps your DS will be a great CogAT test taker (I know, not the favorite test), and he might excel on the EXPLORE? I do not think a single test is very useful for understanding any of our children, anyway. Multiple data points over time give a much better picture. Thanks, again!
