At first, receiving dd#2's WISC results were a bit of a shock, but now it's starting to make sense and I feel it is representational to what I see in her. Granted she's not doing 7th grade algebra or anything but she seems to pick up math concepts quickly and easily... Her WMI score doesn't surprise me and her VCI is perhaps lower than what I expected. When I told my sister and a close friend the results they weren't the least bit surprised. She probably gets it from dh who is an engineer and his parents were both nuclear engineers.
With older dd who is dyslexic, she has had 2 WISC tests done. The first one done 2 years ago was higher by about 1SD and with significant scatter. The one done this year by the school psych had a lower VRI (40% lower) and PRI but slightly higher PSI and WMI. Her subtest scores ranged from a 15 to a 4 and her FSIQ was right at 100. I feel there is more going on with her than dyslexia, perhaps ADHD, CAPD, etc, I'm really not sure. She has a hard time comprehending basic directions at times. (link to a post I wrote in regards to her testing

I do think she is a little more than just average cognitively (but not as high as younger dd). She tends to form friendships with kids in the G&T program, and their parents have told me that I should test her for the G&T program (they don't know about her WISC testing) and that she would do well there.
