My son had his assessment done with the WISC V and his results are quite surprising to us. He was assessed for Adhd, autism as he is not that good with his social skills in terms of articulation, has poor handwriting and is inpulsive with poor time awareness. He is a left handed so not sure of this is typical of the general left handed population.
The physcoligist has assessed that he does not have adhd or autism, but he is also not given an FSIQ or GAI as he has significant gaps between his scores, VCI < VSI etc
VCI- 116
VSI - 132
FRI - 121
WMI - 100
PSI- 141
FSIQ - not given.
Subtest scores
Verbal comprehension
Similarities 11 63th
vocabulary 15 95th
Visual spatial
Block design 16 98th
Visual puzzle 15 95th
Fluid reasoning
Matrix reasoning 12 75th
Figure weights 15 95th
Working memory
Digit span 10 50th
Picture span 10 50th
Processing speed
Coding 16 98th
Symbol search 18 99.6th
What do these scores mean? Am I right to say my son is a visual spatial learner? Is his relatively low WM and VCI typical of a specific learning disorder or learning style?
Does anyone know how to calculate a GAI or FSiQ for this profile ? ( just for my own curiosity) I can't work it out.
