Hi, everyone -
I wanted to follow up on this old post in case it helps other parents in dealing with the same tests.
Many months after the above screening was done, my son had to take an IQ test for entrance into Kindergarten. This was the WPPSI-IV, I believe (the newest version of the WPPSI test - not sure if that was IV or III... but I think it was IV.)
His verbal score was over 150, which I was told is >99.9 percentile. His general/total score was a bit lower - 99.8 percentile.
So the initial KBIT screening we did for the summer camp obviously wasn't too representative of his actual IQ. The WPPSI tester said his IQ is likely a bit higher than what this test shows, but there were some ceilings he hit and then towards the end of the test he was losing interest and trying to tell jokes instead of doing the test.
I was a bit surprised by his result, to be honest. I'm not sure how reliable the WPPSI test is. Well, I'm not sure how reliable any standardized test is with children this young.
