Your daughter's results are really high and while they may turn out to be higher I would fully expect her to be gifted, most likely HG.

What I find really interesting is the following comparison.

DS5 WPPSI results are not that different (99.9% PIQ and FSIQ, VIQ was in 140's). Today he finished reading the 4th book of Harry Potter. He has been reading forever and reads pretty much anything he can get his hands on. He can multiply, divide, add and subtract with carrying over, knows negative numbers, does pretty well with word problems, etc.

I don't intend to brag, I only want to point out that the achievement testing is probably a huge part of the equation.

I thought that kids with similar high scores have quite similar achievement test results as well. It shows how little I still know or perhaps that my idea of HG+ is completely messed up thanks to DS7. Perhaps the comparison works better when the IQ is administered later on.
