Ahhh - a NeuroPsychologist. I see they differ from regular psychologists in that they have a PhD. I'll start making some phone calls. Thank you!
Do you think I should stick with just the IQ test or is there something else I should request that will clear up some of my confusion? Is the WISC the best one?
Thank you!

No, regular psychologists and neuropsychologists can both have Ph.D.'s
I generally have my IQ testing done by Ph.D. psychologists.
If I want neuropsychological testing, which I normally don't need, I generally refer out to a local neuropsychologist.
If you want neuropsychological testing, it's generally more expensive. I tend to use it for memory and processing issues more than basic psychological exams, including IQ, which I send to Ph.D. psychologists.
