[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A 130 WISC is "very superior" and in the 98%. A 130 WISC should be more in line with 98% of GBRS. 11 is not that.  Based on your logic kids with 16s and 15s have what FSIQ? You think they're all over 140???? You're delusional. Some kids who get a 132 on CogAT get 15s and 16s and CogAT isn't even an IQ test.

My son got a 15 GBRS. I have no idea what is IQ is and don't plan to ever know. His CogAT was 131. NNAT was 127. My child belongs in AAP so we referred. I sure hope he gets in but your WISC/GBRS correlation did not make any sense. [/quote]

You're assuming that a child with a high score on a standardized test automatically presents extraordinary behavior to the classroom teacher, AART, etc. in every one of the four categories measured.  That is not always the case.  They are different tests, different measurements.  Sometimes they seem to correllate.  But that's not necessarily the case.  How many kids are really getting 15's and 16's anyway?  My impression from talking to a former AART teacher is that such scores are not that common.  That's great that your son got a 15.  But people should not be discouraged by a 12.  That still may show some gifted behavior, especially since it could be composed of a 4 in one or two categories.       [/quote]
