Full scale IQ is 130

Which does committee look at?
The GAI score just takes into account the VCI and PRI (Verbal/Math) and not the memory and processing speed scores which are often not much above average even for gifted children. Many people feel that the GAI is a much more accurate representation of a childs intelligence than the FSIQ when they diverge significantly.

The Full Scale is the primary number, but the committee will take all of the scores into account.
