Well I do think that something is going on...ADHD or anxiety or a combo. Also although she is not the least bit shy she is also not the least bit interested in anything academic or "test-like". I think some of this is personality and some of it is an extreme reluctance to put herself in any situation in which she may be compared to her big brother.
Blob - her attitude was pretty negative. The first day of testing we went home because she flat out refused to even participate. The next day when she managed to take the test she was reluctantly cooperating to make up for her behavior the day before. How unsettling it is to think of the impact so many things can have on the results of tests that are then ultimately used to determine so much. Can't believe what a huge discrepancy your son's results were because of attitude!
On a side note re: ADHD - Has anyone tried or have information about the effectiveness of neurofeedback on ADHD? Perhaps it is another post?
Thanks!
