I recently heard a podcast about the new position paper from NAGC which included a discussion about a VECI - Verbal Expanded Crystalized Index.

My DS9 had the following scores on the WISC:

Information 19
Vocabulary 18
Similarities 17
Comprehension 8

I am so confused by the discrepancy. What could this mean? Did he just opt out of this section? The tester noted variable effort and said in the report "It is our opinion that XX is more intelligent than the scores he obtained. This is because across tasks he did not yield liable effort, and he made many inattentions, impulsivity, and distractibility errors across all testing."

He also has ADD and in my opinion (though not officially diagnosed) anxiety.

Thank you for your time.
