Yep, dead average 100. Psych wouldn't even look at or consider the scatter. She was really no help. First wisc was administered by a student studying for a bachelors and just noted significant scatter and the rarity of it.

Just curious as to how a score could be inflated. Not offended at all, just wondering as I have little knowledge of how testing works.
