Looks like we will be taking a whole new IQ test in the early fall.
Do you know what test they'll be giving him in the fall? He really cannot take the same one so close to this last one, so they're going to have to pull out something else like the RIAS or SB.
Do you think it is possible the low VCI scores could be from shyness? He is EXTREMELY shy! He is terrified to talk to stranges. The night he met his teacher he hid under a desk. He is constantly getting tummy aches when he has to deal with people he is not yet comfortable with. I just have to think on the verbal portion of the test this would lower his score significantly and unfairly so. If this is the case any ideas how to get around it before the next IQ test? It would be nice to get a real estimate of his IQ instead of one tainted by his ackwardness.
Possibly. If he gave very brief answers, refused to expand, or didn't answer at all due to shyness, that could certainly depress his scores. I'm less familiar with the SB-V, but I'm wondering if a different test that relies less on expansive verbal responses might be better for him. Maybe someone with experience with the SB or another test might chime in with thoughts on whether that might work better for him.
Another option might be trying to get him to meet the person who will be testing him ahead of time in the hopes that he might be less shy.
