Welcome!
aeh is our local test scores expert, and hopefully will weigh in on those.
Meanwhile I will mention that ALL kids, including gifted kids, can have learning disabilities. Basically, different areas of the brain typically provide certain functions... a brain can have both weak and strong areas... recovery after accident/injury shows that improvement is possible. A kid can be "compensating" for weak areas to the degree that it may mask strengths. Did your tester specialize in gifted?
The types of behaviors you are describing are often thought to stem from:
- being extremely bored, to the degree that it exceeds the child's ability to cope with the lack of stimulation
and/or
- having a potential learning disability. Parents may want to begin reading from the websites of
Understood.org and
Wrightslaw.com to gain background information.
Bearing in mind that no one can diagnose your child over the internet, based on your post mentioning "
can be distracted easily, calls out and is disruptive and fidgets, stands up alot etc.", you might especially want to read about ADD/ADHD:

Understood.org more on ADHD-
Wrightslaw.com - ADD/ADHD While processing speed is low, even gifted kids may have low, or relatively low, processing speed as compared with other scores. Age 6 is rather young to test, as IQ scores tend to stabilize around 8 years old. However many parents have their child tested earlier if there is a need. What led you to have your child tested? Was it the reported school behaviors? Did your tester provide any insight, recommendations, or tips?
Lastly, although parents do post their children's scores and circumstances, please be aware of the caution to
not allow your child to be identified. For example, you may wish to edit your post to remove scores, send a private message (PM) regarding your child's scores rather than posting them, etc.
