Hi everyone I'm a newcomer to here. 2 weeks ago my life was all very ordinary like any family of 4, not even aware of the word �gifted"(mind you we live in Sydney Austrlia where there is no such thing as gift or talent!)
It changes suddenly now (I mean to me, not to everyone else in the family) when DD11 took this WISC IV test with a psychologist. The purpose of the test started from a summer camp's requirement and it cost me a fortune to do so! Anyway her result came back last week reading as:
VCI 144 (99.8 percentile) Very superior
PRI 123 (94 percentile) Superior
VMI 129 (97 percentile) Superior
PSI 112 (79 percentile) High average
FSIQ 135 (99 percentile) Very superior
Well as you can imagine the amount of time I spent since then trying to interpret the scores! There are still few things puzzled me but one thing I have concluded by reading so many posts here: her low Processing Speed is probably the reason for the poor organization skill. She is in 6th Grade now. But there are still times I have to drop to school stuff that she left at home; So many notices to parents that I have never seen out of her bag; She never seems to have time doing her homework� despite that she is still in the top of the class.
Can someone here reassure me that these are the symptoms of low PSI (compared to her other scores)?
PS. We don�t have any of the fascinating GT system here as in the States. School doesn�t want to see that at all. But after reading all these posts, I now find the test a really good way to understand your children.
