[quote=Anonymous]I am just curious about verbal and non-verbal weight on the AAP decision. I understand VCI is the best indicator, but PRI is the next best indicator. Not all gifted children are gifted in both areas. AAP is for advanced academic, but also to provide the education that can boost creativity and problem-solving skills which are some of the strongest traits of visual learners.

#3 has over 140 on PRI, FSIQ, and NNAT. They are pretty good scores, but I read a couple comments that it may be tough because of not so strong VCI and low GBRS. If VCI and PRI scores were switched, then have much better chance, right?

I also read from another thread that AAP Committee doesn't weigh much on Non-verbal CogAT.

2/3 of gifted children are also introvert that can easily overlooked by teachers. I just feel bad for the highly gifted visual learners who are also introvert can left out in a GE classroom categorized as shy kids. Extrovert kids can do well in GE education, but those introvert kids needs the teacher who understand the difference...

Is there a specific reason AAP is weighing more on Verbal than Non-verbal?
