This is all very new to me. My husband and I went to Dr. Deborah Ruf to get a "score-only" assessment (Stanford Binet 5) on my 4 year old girl. We were interested in Early Entrance to Kindergarten for next year since she just misses the cut off and is a bright little girl who is already reading.
The school has requested a "Superior" (130 I think?) score to be considered and my daughter scored an FSIQ of 141 (Exceptionally Gifted) with an Abbreviated Battery of 148 (Profoundly Gifted).
What now? Dr. Ruf mentioned that the school we are going for (there is a lottery) is a good start since it has a wonderful classical curriculum but she also said that while she thought Maia would do well in Kindergarten next year she expected some adaptations would be needed in 1st grade and beyond due to her giftedness level.
Thank you all! This is new territory for me and while my husband was extremely gifted (he graduated high school 2 years early with college credits) I wasn't really expecting the same from our children!
Here are her scores...
NVIQ - 135 - 99%
VIQ - 144 - 99.8
FSIQ - 141 - 99.7
FR - 153 - >99.9
KN - 123 - 94
QR - 130 - 98
VS - 132 - 98
WM - 141 - 99.7
I don't really know what all of this means other than that Dr. Ruf said that we should go back to discuss with her how to handle Maia's "Level 4" giftedness. The test itself was very expensive so I figure further discussion would be much more-so!
