I have followed this conversation but am not completely clear on what to "take away" from the discussion of scatter.

My dd has 6 points of scatter in her PRI and 7 in her processing. so that's about 2 standard deviations for each?

Are the sub-tests in each section measuring very different things, or very similar things? Or different things that typically vary together.

Do we conclude that because of this scatter, we should have a little less confidence in the "rightness" of her iq score?

I see several posters mentioning 2e and scatter. What is that relationship?

(Sorry for the rapid fire questions. I think my intensity is showing.... )
