So, nervousness abated. His FSIQ is 112, which fits with my general view that I have a very bright boy, but he's not on the same level as his sister. I wouldn't have been surprised if he had a gifted IQ either, because he just might not present as a stereotypical gifted kid. I would, however, be surprised/shocked if his sister doesn't have a gifted IQ, given she hits all the stereotypical behavior as well as early milestones. Since siblings are often close together, though, it gives me a hint that she'd be MG at most (I know not to take any of that as gospel. Her dad is G/MG so it'd fit with family history).
The only thing that confused me about his test results is his VSI subscore: 73. Now, perhaps I don't understand VSI at all, but it just doesn't fit. And he's been evaluated for OT and I was told his fine motor skills are good to great. Is there a chance he just didn't test well in that aspect? Either way, it's not too big of a deal because I was told that likely wouldn't manifest as any learning disorders. Every other score, including processing speed, was average to high average.
Even though a misread of his VSI would lead to them miscalculating his FSIQ, it still wouldn't make a difference in terms of whether he is gifted or not, right? The highest subscore he got was 126 for verbal comprehension; everything else was in the low 100s.
Just wondering if I can just take this score for what it is and leave well enough alone, or if later I would want to test again. (If he's happy in school, I can't really see wanting to test again..the only reason it'd be on my mind is if I felt the need to do due diligence if his sister tests high).
Thanks! I just have mixed emotions from relief (well,that's settled) to a bit of confusion (VSI).
{Edit: Sorry for asking testing questions on here, btw. I don't feel comfortable posting in the testing/assessment forums given that we're not dealing with a gifted IQ over here.}
