[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I too was very concerned that my private psychologist did not report the GAI for my child (whose profile is very much high VCI/PRI and lower WMI/PSI).  I talked to the psychologist and she assured me that Carol Horn (who is in charge of Fairfax GT) disfavors the GAI, and any competent person can calculate it in a matter of seconds (I did this myself using the technical report).  The psychologist felt strongly that the appeals committee wants to see just the VCI, PRI, WSI, PSI, FSIQ and the subtest scores, and advised me NOT to muck up the report with the GAI.  So that's what we're doing, even though the GAI would place my child in the 99th percentile (compared to 97% on FSIQ).  [b]Also, I too am curious why Fairfax pushes GMU's grad student testers.  Any one have any ideas on this?[/b]  Thanks![/quote]

yeah because they can't be bribed or bought. :roll:  Your post is illustrative. What's the psychologist doing advising you on what the FCPS GT people want to see? Their job is supposed be to adminsiter the test and score the results. Period. Except obviously a cottage has industry had grown up around getting kids into the GT program. For money.[/quote]

Nothing is wrong with those extra information if no result was altered or enhanced.
