[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I too am confuse/naive about choosing a "good fit" tester.  There must be more to it that searching for a tester in a convenient location with a convenient appointment available?  I did choose a woman who graduated from schools I recognize.  But beyond that, how do you find a "good fit" tester?  [/quote]

Someone who is warm and engages shy kids can help if your kid is shy.  If your kid is more outgoing and possibly overexcited, you may want someone who communicates, nicely, that this is all business.  At age three or four, if you don't like the tester, his/her office is too distracting (filled with toys, fish tank in testing room or whatever), or your underwear is really itching your rear, it can really skew the score.  You try to pick somebody who is best for your child, although it can be awfully hard to tell, and someone who is good for your neighbor's kid might be wrong for you.  Some people are better at drawing info out of kids and so on.  It's kind of a crapshoot, really.
