Grinity - subtests were:

Information 17
Vocab 17
Word Reasoning 16

She hit soft ceilings in at least two of them (she reached the end of at least two, if not all subsections without terminating but made occasional errors or gave vague or "cute" answers). One of the questions she got wrong in word reasoning she heard me talking to my mother about weeks later and first quoted the question word for word, then gave her answer (which was marked wrong) and said "And I was RIGHT" and wondered off. And from a reasoning perspective she had correctly reasoned, but had reasoned out an unexpected answer.

The WPPSI questions were so freaking easy though, it's just hard for me to understand that any 4.75 year old would not have had a similar result.

Flip side - she saw a different psychologist today about possible selective mutism (recovering from) or social anxiety and the conclusion was

a) shy but no pathology
b) very strong willed and non compliant (not oppositional or defiant, simply not a pleaser)
c) "buzzy" / "a bit ADDish" and
d) Clearly underachieving as per the results in the psychometric testing report (which the tester did not identify but instead described as "Academically, CHILD is also doing very well and her literacy and mathematical skills are equivalent to a child who is in Reception." Which is to say her literacy skills were 6 months in advance at the time of testing. Tester described that as "doing very well", today's psych described that as "significant underachievement, she should be two years in advance with that IQ". Which explains my sense of denial.

Cricket thanks for this, it was useful:

I'd except high VCI to show up in different ways depending on where those strengths within VCI lie. Probably the child would have an advanced vocabulary although s/he may or may not use it regularly (my dd10 doesn't often b/c she is more interested in appearing "normal.") Probably the child would be able to understand plot lines and character motivations well when reading although s/he may or may not like to read (again, my dd10 isn't much into reading).
