In general, older IQ tests tend to yield higher scores as each year the scores tend to creep up a bit (Flynn Effect).
More recently released IQ tests tend to yield lower scores.
Here is a recent thread on this: Comparing WISC-IV & WISC-V.
Here is a blog post from Deborah Ruf: The "Flynn Effect" Affects the Gifted Learners Even More... .
This is interesting! Honestly--IQ stuff makes my eyes cross. I'm much more oriented to the "so what." It looks like the "so what" is to take results with grain of salt. I'm most interested in seeing the individual scores and his PSI--which was much lower 30+ points than GAI last time--and evidently can be useful info? So confusing!
