Her lowest three scores are all timed tasks, two of which feed into the Oral Fluency composite. LNF does not, but is still a timed task. So it's not that she was necessarily inaccurate naming letters, but that she didn't say them very quickly.

Actually, in general, fluency is her lowest area, with only reading fluency for real words up in her cognitive range. But as you may know, quite a lot of GT individuals have relatively lower processing speed (not generally below average, but closer to average), without any particular pathology. On AF, she may have been trying to come up with unusual responses, instead of boring but qualifying answers. E.g., if I were to ask a student to name as many vehicles as they could in one minute, some children with very deep vocabularies would want to give "interesting" responses, like Lamborghini, Harrier Jump Jet (with or without its military or civilian model numbers), etc., which might take them a beat or two longer to come up with. Another student, who might actually have a smaller vocabulary, might take the efficient but not fancy route, with truck, pickup truck, semi truck, dump truck. Or sometimes I get students who will only name whole subcategories, so, for instance, once "truck" has been named, they won't say any other kind of truck, which results in lower scores, even though they actually know and can name many more kinds of trucks. If this matters at all to you, you could probably get an inkling of whether any of these situations were applicable by asking her 1) what she was asked to name a lot of, and 2) what she gave as answers. (I'm not giving the actual categories from any of the most common tests, in the interest of test security.) Given her vocabulary, I would guess that she was going for interesting and unique answers.
