What do IQ tests test?
What exactly does the VCI test? My impression is that it tests the intellectual ability to reason when taking information in verbally and outputing it verbally. Our school district psychologist and gifted director both think it only tests vocabulary.
My impression is the PRI tests this reason when information is taken in visually and output is motor (fine motor) on two of the scales and verbal on another.
PSI is testing processing speed and can be very slow in highly gifted children and is not a good indicator of gifted intelligence.
WMI is testing the working memory and tests how a child can hold information and manipulate information simultaneously. It again can be very low in highly gifted kids and is not a good indicator of gifted intelligence.
Correct me if I'm wrong...add more information....tell me I'm right-ish:^)!
What are we testing???
