Glad to hear you have no concerns with 2e.

If he had two 19s (ceiling of the subtest), did the psych calculate extended subtest scores? His composites aren't high enough to make an extended FSIQ or GAI worthwhile, but it would certainly be interesting to know whether/how much of an underestimate those 19s were.

With that matrix reasoning and block design score, his picture concepts score must have been much lower, like a 12, which would be right in line with the VCI. It's a more concrete task, and is a mixed measure, with a lot of overlap with verbal mediation. That's partly why it's been booted from the core battery on the WISC-V. So even though he might not be 2e, it looks like the VCI could be a legitimate number, despite his strong actual reading skills. All this to say, I suspect his PRI is a low estimate of his true ability. If he is re-assessed in the future (in another two years would be good), it will be on the WISC-V, which is good, because the equivalent of the PRI (split into two indices) will not include picture concepts, which, if he continues this profile, may result in DYS-qualifying numbers in the Fluid Reasoning Index, and possibly the Visual Spatial Index.

And if I were to pick one subtest where I'd like to see a kid hit the ceiling, it would be matrix reasoning. smile
