. She is very smart, but also completely outside the box thinker.
That was another "strike" against my dd on her test...she was asked, for example, "which animals have milk" and she answered "a mama polar bear" - which is technically correct but because the answer wasn't cow or goat, she got it wrong. So the reliability of the tests can be "eh".
Yes, same with my dd, and the tester commented on a few examples today after her testing was through. I think she had to describe a dog and my dd just said "they are very friendly and people love to own them." She didn't get credit or maybe partial because she didn't say a dog was an animal with fur or something like that.
I think today's tester seemed to think that because she has had two tests with relatively the same result that it's a good representation or her ability. I think she learns quicker than what the results would indicate. The tester did say that there "could be" some attentional issues since older brother has issues. What kinds of LDs can lower an IQ test result potentially? Just wondering what to watch for?
Maybe I just have to accept the results. That means that she would be about 25-30 pts below oldest bro and sis. Regardless, we aren't going to do any more testing for several years and just see where her achievement goes.
