The OLSAT is supposed to catch gifted and high achievers. In our district, you get into the regular gifted program, but are not considered for the Highly Gifted programs unless you are tested by a district psychologist (OLSAT is given by the teacher). The score generated is for SAI (School Ability Index) meaning it tests ability in areas relating to tasks at school.
Both my kids tested HG with a private tester, but both were not gifted according to the OLSAT.
Both of my kids are extremely creative, but not particularly interested in school….
