Hi Grinity:
His psychologist did ask me if I had any questions, I said not at the moment cause I had to take in all the information at once a bit too much to take in at once for me. I will call him and ask about the distractions in his office. Thank you so much.
LOL photo-phonographic memory
I do have great memory recall (picture or sound) as well, so not too surprised that my son would as well. I had to skip a few grades in elementary as a child and did fine and also was accepted into college at 15 1/2 years of age. If I took his testing results as is to his school, I'm not too sure if they would want to skip him into second grade even though i do believe it's a better fit for him for the time being. We are however, moving to another state this coming fall and my son will once again be tested at his new school for placement. I'm nervous about himm actually doing bad rather than what he's capable of because of anxiety and stubborness. I feel as though he gets bored with questions that are easy (which seems as though he is giving up) but in reality he's annoyed that he's being asked questions he's mastered since before school. When he's given problems he hasn't mastered, he will sit there quietly figuring it out until he has mastered it fully. Never gives up until he's completely got it.
He was very colicky as a baby, talked at 5 months, walked at 8 months. spoke in sentences before age 2.
geniuses run on both sides of mine and my husbands family tree. My brothers IQ is 145, mine 138, husbands 140, and his grandfathers a math genius, my uncle has photo memory and is an electroics inventor. He goes to other countries, looks at electronic products, memorizes how it's made, comes back and makes duplicate or better never having bought the item. (my son says he wants to be an inventor). I know IQ is not a big deal since having higher IQ comes with depression or other problems and some not. My brother suffers manic depression. However, I'm mostly concerened not about how high is IQ is, but the quality of his classroom materials being done and him actually coming home telling me it's just too easy. I feel helpless with these results, and confused, and still have no idea what to do about his school atmosphere for the time being.
It's all overwhelming at times.
Yes, test was given in the room with the airplanes
(seriously)
My son didn't think much of the tester. I believe my son might actually be more comfortable with women due to his dad being absent in Irq at the moment. Women tend to have a sweeter voice so he says. He couldn't stop talking mostly about the airplanes he wanted to play with during the test. When I seemed annoyed he stopped talking about the airplanes and said "you don't want to hear what I have to say about the airplanes." and wouldn't talk about the testing again until I said "I do want to hear" and listened. Then he went on about how the test went going detail by detail and word for word everytning that happened. (weird I tell you.)
Oh and yes he reads just for fun in his room randomly. Right now he's reading a book from the library (star wars) (charlottes web) and (some space encyclopedia book) and (how things work encyclopedia) I call him my book worm/nerd. He also loves legos and builds advanced legos for age 11-14 easily by himself with no help. He also memorizes scripture verses (bible) 7 verses a week 100/100 and receieved awards for it being only child in a group of 200 kids to memorize so well flawlessly and NEVER forgetting when having to recall the verses.
So knowing all this and seeing his results made my face go
hmm.....
