LOL, it's quite normal to question it at times. DS5 is clearly a PG kid and meets the criteria for those level 5 kids...but he still does stuff sometimes that makes you wonder, because they are still kids (like putting his pants on backwards, not paying attention at times). Most recently we were at a house on a lake with some friends/family for the weekend and we asked DS5 a few times if he wanted to go out on the boat. Everytime we asked him he would say "what boat?" after he had clearly seen it. He even said "what boat?" after he had been on it. Clearly not paying attention. I will say that having him tested confirmed what I already knew...but I will also say that I would not at all have had him tested that young if I didn't think that we needed to do it for school.
