I'm new to this database and to the "giftedness" discussion. My daughter took Cogat tests when she was in kindergarten, after which she took parts of the ITBS test and Renzulli scales. She was enrolled in the school district's enrichment program. And now I'm looking back at her scores and wondering what they mean: COGAT standard age scores of 112/verbal, 130/quantitative, 119/non-verbal and 119 composite. Her Renzulli creativity scale percentage was 99% and her ITBS Achievement test in math was 99%. Any advice on how to reconcile these and how to determine what this stuff means? Thanks.

I dont know about the ITBS test and Renzulli scales. But since my DD took the CoGAT, i read about it extensively. This link here is very informative.You might want to jump to page 18 if you just want to read the interpretations.
