Dottie,
Can you check into this and let me know if I've heard wrong?
I've just been at a lecture at the Beyond IQ conference, and the speaker mentioned that there is a way for a child who get a '19' on a subtest to get credit for their correct answers. One needs to have the raw scores, and the extended scoring table. I've also heard that an extended scoring table is in the works for the WIPSI.
WOW! Isn't that amazing?
The lecturer, Kathi Kearney, who was nice, funny and really knew what she was talking about, mentioned that with the new weighting of Working Memory and Processing Speed, that a child getting 130 full scale score on the WISC IV isn't 'just a little bit gifted.' She mentioned that the test publishers have noted that Gifted kids are the ones who score Gifted on Full Scaler OR the General Abilities Index OR Performance IQ ALONE OR Verbal IQ ALONE. And the the information is availible on the website and that School Psychologists 'should' be aware of this and using it in their daily school decisions. WOW!
If anyone can find a link to this particular Grail, I would very much appreciate it. I'm back to the conference!
