Actually, you've since posted the composite scores, so this is taken care of! I was trying to find another place in your report that might list them. These six lines are the comparisons between the four index scores, and are how the evaluator determines whether there are significant differences in his areas of cognitive ability. It's where he got the comment you list below:

The largest discrepancy between scores (28 points) was between his Perceptual Reasoning Index and his Working Memory Index. A difference of this magnitude is statistically significant and rare, as it is found in less than 4% of the standardization sample

This is a moderately significant difference of about one and a third standard deviations between forwards and backwards, but even the DSF is solidly average. His interpretation of the difference is plausible.

The snippets you have shown us are actually okay. Does he discuss the GAI and FSIQ in the narrative? That's the part that needs correction.

If you had been to graduate school with some of the people I have met in my coursework over the years--or read some of the reports I've received from sending schools, you would know that, unfortunately, the same cannot be said of some of my respected colleagues!
