Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment PG, MG, EG etc - how do you classify?

Regarding 2e, the IQ test is the same, but understanding the sub-tests is critical. Actually, I think it's important for everyone, but especially 2e. The overall score can be depressed by the disability, and the giftedness can mask the degree of disability. Evaluating the sub-tests illuminates the degree of asynchrony, strength and weaknesses thus helping you with parenting strategies and effective advocacy for your child at school.

As to the labels, the more asynchronous your child, the more specialized and individualized help you will need. I've found them very helpful for understanding my child's needs.
