the testing info in layperson's terms? I'd appreciate any help.
DS8 was given the WISC-IV and had these results...I'll try to provide the necessary info. Composite scores are....
VCI - 140
PRI - 139
WMI - 132
PSI - 112
FSIQ - 141
He was also given a WIAT-II. The composite standard scores for reading and math were both 153.
The psychologist noted 'high energy behaviors' during the testing and told us that his scores may actually be higher, but that she couldn't know for sure because of the distractibility. I don't know if they plan to retest after getting him where he needs to be - ie. gifted program, subject acceleration, with the ultimate goal of a grade skip.
I guess he falls in the 'very superior' range, but what does that really mean? We've suspected for quite some time that he was different, but....normal. We were left with the impression that he was not average and that he would have definite special needs as far as school was concerned.
I see clear differences in his thought processes and actions when I watch him interact with his friends, but it's hard to imagine that he's really that different. Is he?
