My son has shown tremendous signs of giftedness since a very young age. Many people had suggested having him tested, but at the time I figured it wasn't really necessary. This year he started kindergarten (5yrs old) and began having behavior problems in school. He began seeing a school counselor (grad student) and we decided to test for both ADHD (recommended by my son's teacher) and IQ (WISC-IV). The test results showed that he did not have ADHD and only showed an average IQ level, much to my surprise. It wasn't that I expected him to have an extremely high IQ, but I did expect it to be higher than the results showed. It doesn't seem to make sense. The counselor administered the test and I'm wondering could his lack of experience affect the results? By observation, my son is clearly gifted, so should his IQ be average?
