[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've heard but have no real proof that the nonverbal scores count less and verbal counts the most - I think a teacher told me that.[/quote]

Perhaps a psychologist out there can answer to this, but I would think that high nonverbal scores would be a better judge of giftedness, if any, on these tests.[/quote]

I have a child who tops the charts with non-verbal, but has above average, not quoted gifted range verbal.  I was told by AART non-verbal is not a good predictor of academic success.  Verbal is a better predictor, apparently.[/quote]

Our child got very high scores in nonverbal(NNAT and Cogat), a high quantitative score, and a relatively low verbal score.  Got into level IV without any problem.  Is getting great grades in reading,writing and social studies even though math is the strength.  These tests only measure so much.  I would say that verbal is a better predictor for only certain populations.  (Based on the performance on another test taken for an academic camp, I think our child would have faired better on a verbal test that had fewer pictures...)  Just my two cents worth.[/quote]
