[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here with the DC with the seemingly anomalous WISC score.  The way this was explained to be the WISC administrator is that CogATs and NNATs are both slanted a bit to a child with strong non-verbal capabilities.

To this end, our DC scored a 133 on Perceptual reasoning rating -- very superior in three out of five subtests -- but only 112 on verbal (just high average).  Within that DC, did well in a couple of areas -  vocabulary (superior) and information (very superior) - but just average in comprehension.   DC also scored average (just 100) on processing speed with one low average (Coding).  Working memory was high average.

The processing speed index - and also the comprehension issue - are what look like red flags to me that something is quite right.  This is proving to be a very interesting journey.[/quote]
There is nothing wrong with your child. Nothing up at all except your child is very smart and will be a well round intelligent adult provided you don't stress them out worrying about nothing. Intelligence is extremely complicated and most psychologists and neurologists will tell you that it is impossible to measure accurately. Don't stress about a couple of points in one direction or another on these tests. Focus on achievement. My DC scored genius level 150+ IQ and goofs around in class too much. I focus on motivating DC as much as possible but I also know that DC needs to just be a kid.[/quote]
