Mentally quick and superb memory are wonderful skills to have, but the don't generalize to intellectual ability. The VCI and PRI clock in at the 97th percentile, and while this is definitely gifted, one can't assume that it's so gifted that the regular classroom is a bad fit.

In the name of curiousity, can you expound on this part Grinity? I only ask, because my son has about a 20 point difference in verbal and performance on the WPPSI, only going the other way, verbal was much higher than performance, so I wonder if his FSIQ is also inflated because of the high verbal?
