[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my case my child's word knowledge and vocabulary (meaning social and practical knowldge) a section in VCI came out to be weak. The other one "similarities" is 92%. Rest are above 90%. I am under impression that WMI,PSI are inherent(genetic) but VCI is environmental like  how much exposure child is given. So can VCI be improved  by giving good exposure? I might be comapletely wrong. Correct me if I am wrong.[/quote]

My child had very low "comprehension" 2 years ago (when tested by GMU) -- think 25th percentile.  A neuropsychologist tested her (for ADHD and LDs) this year and comprehension was in the 90th percentile range.  I questioned the neurospcyh and she told me a lot of things in the earlier test seemed "off" compared to her 3 days of testing with my child (including the WISC).  She told me to shred the first WISC because she thought it was totally wrong.  I think either the tester was clueless or DD really matured over that 2 year period.

This is the long way of saying I think comprehension could come with maturity (especially considering what they are testing) and testers can be bad or have a poor rapport with your child.[/quote]

Thanks for explaining it ti me, but in my case tester was not bad nor did he/she have poor rapport but I am hopeful that after few years my child's comprehension will improve with maturity.[/quote]

OP (pp here whose son took the WISC V) a high score in similarities is fantastic. That is verbal, abstract reasoning. I was pleased to see that it was my DS's highest score in VCI. I was less interested in the other subtests. If your DD also did well in matrix reasoning, then intellectual potential is very high. [/quote]

OP here- Yeah my DS's matrix reasoning is 91 % ile. His vocabulary and comprehension are weak sections . I should focus on them  :)[/quote]
