Thanks Aimee for the additional information. After having some additional time to read about some of these tests I pretty much concluded that the overall information provided is not very useful (which also seems to be the general feeling of most of the responses).
I am certain that my son's lowest scoring area on any of the true IQ tests (terminology not to be debated) would be in the nonverbal section. I really think that I have a bunch of *partial* testing in his weakest area. Although, his nonverbal may very well be at about the 124 level.
I am anticipating that his actual IQ will come in between 135 - 140 simply based on milestones and my gut feeling. It will be fun to see when we do have him tested if I am right. The psychologist that specializes in gifted children/gifted research that we meet with earlier this spring was guessing (of course without testing) that his *minimum* was going to be 140, which I was finding a little hard to believe. Out discussions with him were very helpful, even without testing, because it gave me the last piece of confidence I needed to go ahead and skip pre-k and put him into kindergarten at our center. Which I should add is working out very well! Of course I still have the battle of the public school system next year, which is why we are planning to get him tested next spring/summer. I guess this gives you a little background for my curiosity about the results from this testing.
Last question: If his nonverbal is really at 124 is it even possible for the full scale IQ to come in over 140? Hopefully this question makes sense, as I have stated before I am still learning!
