InView: 
Group cognitive abilities test, "comprised of five subtests: Verbal Reasoning-Words; Verbal Reasoning-Context; Sequences; Analogies; and Quantitative Reasoning.  InView does not measure all aspects of cognitive abilities. Since it is intended for use in schools, emphasis is placed on reasoning abilities that are important for success in an educational program."  Elementary level InView is said to have hard ceiling of 141, where gifted is 127+.  Published by CTB/McGraw-Hill

The HGC test, which is supposed to be like the CoGat is age-normed.  I don't think InView is age-normed.

so, if a child has been red-shirted or has an early bday, then it would make sense that the child may do well in InView but not score accordingly on the HGC test.

I have a DC in HGC.  DC has a summer bday and scored in the 90's in 3 out 5 sections in InView; one score in the 60's, I think.  HGC age normed test scores 2 out 3 were 10+ points above median scores; one score a few points below median.[/quote]
