I think this a wonderful site to gain information into the world of intelligence/cognitive testing.
Having siad that, I have a few questions. I am presently having problems with my 8 year old son at private school catholic school.
two yeasr a go the WISC-IV was administered, his scaled scores on the ten subtest were: similarities 11, vacabulary 9, comprehension 13, digit span 10, letter-num seq 9, block design 14, picture concepts 15, matrix reasoning 18, coding 10, and symbol search 9. The test was done when he was in kindergarten.
His teachers are complaining that he is inattentive in class, but yet he's doing exceptionally well in the second grade. That is the report we got from the last tri-semester.
We were asked to take in for psych eval. After a month a half, the psych concluded that he was not mature for his age, but also said the kid was an 24 year old in an 8 year old body. I guess it because of the way the kid talks and speaks.
We are of no thinking thaat he is gifted. Certainly, his scores do not indicated giftedness. However, we are being asked to redo the test. My question is, what could have prompted the request for a restest? Would the result be skewed this time since he has already seen the test quite recently? And, is it possible that the scores were wrongly calculated?
His VCI was 104
PRI 135
WMI 97
PSI 97
FSIQ 114
GAI 123
Are these scores accurate?
