I�ve been very impressed with the level of insight you parent testing experts have been able to glean from WISC and WJ results. (Thank you for your posts!)
I�m wondering about the expertise of a tester we used a few years ago. Despite having paid an additional charge for analysis/discussion of test results, I feel like our tester largely regurgitated our parental observations without adding many of her own. I had expected more subtest analysis, but perhaps my expectations were unrealistic.
I am also wondering if extended norms should have been used as my dd had two 19s in the her VCI composite.
My dd was 6 years, 3 months, at the time of testing. We were testing in part to confirm a coordination diagnosis, which our tester felt was confirmed by her block design result. She suggested her FSIQ might be better reflected by her VCI due to
coordination difficulties.
DD's WISC IV result were as follows
(VCI) 148
(PRI) 129
(WMI) 123
(PSI) 118
(FSIQ) 139
Block Design 10

Any insights you experts might have - on the results or the tester - would be tremendously appreciated. Thanks so much!
