Hello, I am a newbie with lots of questions. Our daughter came home with 99% composite scores on her Cogat, and NPR of 99% Reading/99% Math on her Iowa test. Her strongest score on the Cogat was 149 on the nonverbal. She received a 143 on her WISC-IV with her strongest scores in the Perceptual Reasoning Composite (18 in something called Matrix Reasoning). Laying all that out - what does that say about her strengths? How is perceptual reasoning going to help her? How does that fit in with her strong nonverbal score on the Cogat? Her worst score was Symbol Search (13) yet her Coding was 17 in the Processing Speed section.
Our girl is all about art art art and writing books. She has filled out numerous journals that are all highly illustrated, and she is crazy over photo editing and creating these wild web pages that the IQ tester didn't believe an 8 year old could produce. Finally, her favorite books are non-fiction books about things like color theory, and she also loves to read dictionaries. I can't give a "theme" to her reading choices because she picks very random books except for the constant reading about how to do photography and art.
Thoughts? I am just trying to figure out what those scores mean. And I just saw elsewhere why she did well in processing speed - her art skills help her with the pencil and paper section I would bet.
