The issue was not the variation between FSIQ and GAI, it was that there was significant difference amoung the subtest scores that make up BOTH the GAI and FSIQ of more than 5 points. So, for example, within a single Index, scores varied from 21percentile to ninety one percentile.  The tester this felt that neither FSIQ of GAI was an adequate measure of intellectual ability.[/quote]

Neuropsychologist here - 5 points is NOT a significant variation.  You will have strengths and weaknesses within the subtests.  Variations over 2 SD is significant. [/quote]

New poster here, but even then, is a 2 SD difference necessarily problematic?  Both of my kids had huge variations within the WMI.  One had a 3 SD difference between picture span (16) and digit span (7), and the other had a 2.7 difference, with digit span of 18 and picture span of 10.  The psychologist didn't necessarily see this as a problem, other than as a possible red flag for ADHD for the kid with the low digit span.[/quote]
