Newbie with wisc-iv questions - 08/16/12 03:38 PM
Hi there! I've been lurking here for awhile and I want to start out by saying what an informative forum this is!
I've guessed that DS8 was gifted for some time and was able to confirm that yesterday with the results of his WISC-IV. Now- after reading a little bit more- I'm wondering if we got all we needed or if I should have asked for extended norms. Forgive me, I'm a little foggy on ceilings and extended norms. So I might be way off base. And I'm also not really sure it matters. It's clear that he's gifted but not necessarily DYS level gifted. And I'm doubting that extended norms would change that picture. But again- I'm not totally clear on my understanding of extended norms...
The scores:
FSIQ- 141
VCI- 134
Similarities- 14
Vocabulary- 19
Comprehension- 14
PRI- 135
Block Design- 16
Picture Concepts- 17
Matrix Reasoning- 14
WMI- 141
Digit Span- 17
Letter-Number Seq.- 17
Processing Speed- 118
Coding- 11
Symbol Search- 15
I'm also curious if I should be concerned or alarmed at the difference between PSI (specifically coding) and the rest of his scores. If anybody has an opinion, I'd appreciate it!
Thanks!!
