I just got back from vacation last night and found this same email in my large bunch of emails. I, too, have wondered about the levels just as a whole b/c dd11 fits very clearly into level 4 with a few level 5 and a few level 3 areas. She isn't nearly that highly gifted from what I can tell though. IQ puts her at MG and achievement at HG.
In re to paying for the online assessment, like others have said, I'm not sure what one could do with the info since it seems unlikely to get one's child into any programming. I am also a bit cautious about retrospective studies which is essentially what these levels/milestones are. I know too many parents, for instance, who have told me that their kids were speaking in sentences at 18 months whose kids were barely saying a few words at that age (and not combining any of them). I wonder if it might be subject to parental misrecollection especially if the parent is prone to over or underestimating their children already.
