We got back DS7's scores today and his PSI is much lower than the rest.
The sub-scores in all the other indexes were 16s and 18s (with a block design of 14), but Coding was 8 and Symbol Search was 10. The PSI, while still being technically average, is 41 points lower than the next lowest Index (Working Memory). The psychologists report said that it was due to his "tendencies to be highly methodical, systematically linear and diligent when problem-solving the different tasks". But, that just seems like a huge amount of perfectionism. Should I be concerned?
If it is significant, what does it possibly indicate and who do I talk to about exploring it further?
ETA: I should probably also note that his fluency scores on the WJ-III achievement are fine, math fluency is 125 and reading fluency is 139. I'm not sure if those constitute "real world" performance or not, but we do have other timed situations where he did fine.
Thank you!
