Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment wppsi, what sort of test

What sort of test is the wppsi? We are considering this for our 4 year old, for school entrance, however just curious if the test would 'work well' to show a very very verbal child's abilities, or is it better for a more visual child?
The tester mentioned playing games and doing puzzles which are all fun to dd, but where she really blows me away is with memorization of songs and jokes, ones she's heard and ones she's made up, picking up words from other languages, and her english vocab is huge.
