Our 6 yr old took the OLSAT in his first grade classroom. We expected him to do very well, however his scores were mostly in the normal range. Total SAI was 114 with 119 Verbal and 105 Nonverbal. The only area where he scored above average was verbal reasoning.
Is his average OLSAT the end of the road, or are there situations where even an average OLSAT can translate to a gifted IQ? I've seen reference to studies that show gifted children can test lower than their ability in a group setting, but is it reasonable to think a child with average scores could still be gifted? I haven't spoken with the school yet, as I would like to be prepared with as much knowledge about the subject as possible.
Thanks!
