I think a big hallmark of 2E children is their inconsistency.
Do you think that inconsistency in and of itself indicates 2E?
Dd9, whom I've posted about, has various IQ scores that vary by as much as 30 pts from one testing to another. Her WIAT achievement scores are 2SDs above what would be expected if the lower IQ scores are correct. We were assured that there was no possibility of any disability when we had her tested last, though, b/c the achievement scores were too high (e.g. -- if achievement isn't below ability, there is no disability). Her Explore scores came today as well and, while she did reasonably okay (nothing like some of the scores I've seen posted here), she aced the science test which she said she had totally guessed on and bombed some of the other parts.
Like you mention of your ds, dd11 has some scores that are low for her on bad days, but she is very consistently high. Her math scores run avg for a gifted kid in the grade in which she's been accelerated, but not at the top of the pack & everything else is always in the 99th percentile for grade. If something went way wrong, she might have a 95 percentile day, but nothing like what we see with dd9.
I honestly find myself wondering if dd9 might just not be gifted despite the occassional high scores. I don't want to pressure her or expect things of her that I shouldn't b/c I don't want to screw up my kid.
