Thanks dottie for that info on the subtests. Kate's subtest scores as follows:
VERBAL COMPREHENSION SUBTESTS 124
similarities 14
vocabulary 14
comprehension 14
PERCEPTUAL REASONING INDEX 129
block design 14
picture concepts 17
matrix reasoning 13
According to these, I think you could make a case that Kate is gifted, but her FSIQ does not support this.
WORKING MEMEORY INDEX 110
digit span 13
letter number sequencing 11
PROCESSING SPEED INDEX 88
coding 8
symbol search 8
I guess this is just a little frustrating for me because if you calculate and look at GAI, she is gifted. If you look at FSIQ, she's not. So, how do I descibe her? I have to admit, gifted is on the tip of my tongue yet I don't want to feel like I'm fudging her abilities.
To everyone...are your kids in gifted classes? Kate is starting 1st grade at a private college prep school...I don't think they even have "gifted" classes." I am interested in the Duke Talent Search...is anyone familiar with that?
