[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello all,

Our DC took the WISC-V and we were certain DC would score high. DC is a smart kid who does very well in school and is just one of those switched on kids who gets everything quickly and does well. So, the FSIQ score DC got floored us. I am almost certain something was not right, be it how DC was feeling that day or maybe the tester had some issue. Both my spouse and I agree on this; [b]we’re being objective about DC’s abilities [/b]and can not reconcile the results with the kid.

What would you do? Should DC retest, and if so, with the same or a different tester? We have already reached out to her and hope to have a conversation this week.

Thanks![/quote]

Your kid may or may not have a high iq. But you and your wife are not objective. The current test you have is more objective than the two of you. [/quote]

This is spot-on. I remember when my 7 year old DS got his WISC scores. His FSIQ was 115, even though he seemed whip-smart to people, including his teachers. My MIL - who is a teacher - suggested that the test must be wrong. I looked at her and said, "Really? You think it is more likely that the test is wrong than that we are deluded?"

He is in high school now (at a Big 3 even) and doing well academically. Not straight As, but a mix of As and Bs. [/quote]
