Thanks for the feedback. So are testers able to do some of the other subtests if they feel a child is capable of them (even if they aren't the technical age yet)? It looks like your tester did Mia. Just curious because if they aren't even allowed to test him on so much of the things that he knows, then I would guess it is not that reflective of his capabilities. I don't think they should push kids and test for things that the child has no idea how to do, but it would be nice for them to see their capabilities. My DS is 4. I am not sure what numerical operations are...but if it has anything to do with addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, patterning, fractions, time, measuring, etc...he will probably be able to do quite easily. It would be unfortunate if they just said "well....4 year olds shouldn't be able to do that yet so we won't test him on that" Clearly 4 year olds shouldn't be able to half the stuff he is...and that is why we are having him tested. And I do realize that IQ tests were not designed to test gifted children...but I just want testing to be a good read and help us decide what direction to go in.
