Huh. Interesting.
I guess that just flies in the face of what I see with my own child, G3. He is a pattern...expert? genius? pro? I dunno, but some word like that. Just really, really able to make sense of data in amazing ways. But he is slow. Not just on the test, but in real life.
Now, it is possible that the patterns in the PRI were just so obvious to him that there was no need for him to take any time. He just saw everything immediately. That wouldn't surprise me a bit, actually!
He's not usually a perfectionist either, so I wouldn't think that sort of issue would have been problem for him, as it surely is for some kids with odd PSI scores.
Wait...now that I'm re-reading both the past two posts together, I'm seeing something confusing:
One major difference between the subtests that go into the PRI/PSI is that the PSI subtests are timed and the PRI ones aren't.
in some PRI subtests, you get bonus points for speed.
If speed is NOT a factor in PRI, then everything makes sense. If it is, then our test results make less sense to me.
