What Kriston said.
SB-V on one hand kicked my butt over the GT-denial part. On the other hand it opened up a lot of questions. I have talked with one of the so-called GT testing experts recommended by hoagies and the impression that he gave me was that children will definitely score differently on either test depending on their abilities. Our psychologist put in the report that even though DS scored high, his true abilities weren't being tested by the SB-V.
If I had to do it all over again, I probably would have gone to someone who was more specialized with GT kids. According to the pysch, he had probably only seen one other child in the same ballpark as our DS (and our DS didn't score extraordinally high on the SB-V test, although his achievement tests were very high). But we had time and other constraints.
