I am not sure you are getting good advice. From what I understand, such disparity between Verbal/Perceptual and Processing is common among very bright kids. The psychologist told us that either some children did not understand they were being timed in these questions or they totally lost interest, since these are very simple, rather boring, pen-and-paper questions. Either way, there is a very reasonable explanation as to why a very bright kid might not do well in this category. There is no scientific evidence that a higher score in processing speed would indicate a gifted child, but there is a lot of work that suggests that very high verbal and perceptual indices do indeed identify gifted students. Thus, I am very confused by your psychologist's suggestions...[/quote]
