Question:
For all the folks who got better quality from the private tester, was this a tester who was reccomended specifically for 2E/gifted kids? Do you live in a large metropolitan area? Did you pick the tester randomly out of the phonebook or insurance list? Were they reccomended by a source that was trusted but 'non-GT-sentivive.'
Just Curious...

Yes, specifically for gifted/2E. Our first private testing experience was with the GDC (which I discovered randomly on the internet) and our second private tester was recommended by a friend (who in turn was referred to this tester by a friend; in both cases they needed testing for admission to the local gifted school; the tester is on the school's list). Googling showed that the tester had a couple decades of experience and is associated with a gifted education program at a local university.
