But do you think the IQ tests showed you something needed to be done? Even if it didn't say what needed to be done?
Dazey -- I completely agree with you. My ds's test results were eye-opening as well.
We knew ds was bright but didn't know *how* bright. And obviously the available tests don't differentiate between *really* how bright (especially in our situation -- ds tested at 5.5 with the WPPSI -- not ideal).
But I didn't quite realize why he was so miserable in school. I knew he was smart. I didn't realize he was 99.9 percentile smart. And even if he doesn't "stay" 99.9 percentile smart on future IQ tests, his WPPSI certainly gave me the impetus to do something right then instead of trying to tough out full-day K with no accommodations.
So would ds8 (tomorrow!) score lower if tested today? Maybe -- I honestly have no idea. Possibly. It really doesn't matter, though, does it, if he's getting appropriate work at school -- and the original testing made me realize he needed something different?
