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.
I think that in the report prepared by the psychologist who administered the test there would be something about his behavior and an analysis about whether his behavior during testing affected the test results. For instance, my DS's tester put a section called behavioral observations and said he was easy to engage, openly offered responses and had a positive attitude etc and therefore his results were an accurate reflection of his cognitive ability.
