coding 12 (said this may be due to his handwriting skills as yet still developing--it's pretty bad when he's not trying hard and it a hurry--can be great when he takes the time)

We have very bright men in our family who are engineers, one scored a perfect 1600 on the SAT in high school and went to the NC School of Science and Math. We know where it's coming from but not sure of its extent.
I do not plan to even try to skip my oldest, not ready socially and his writing needs to catch up. He loves math and science but hates structure. He has begged to be home schooled but I know he would be just horrible for me--not an option.
Is my 6yo exceptionally gifted? He seems to meet the LOG 4 in Ruf's book based on his early readiness signs/achievements. How does grade skipping him where he'd still need one to two years higher advancement in math help him out? His handwriting and composition skills are certainly not at a 3rd grade level yet even if he can do the work.
Are you guys saying his FSIQ is suppressed by the WISC-IV sd scale? Should he have taken an extended test?
thanks,
