I'm guessing that the kids scoring in the 120s are found eligible if the verbal and perceptual reasoning scores are high and it's the working memory and processing speed that are lower. So probably the GAI is still in the 130s.

Goodness... I can't imagine what "gifted" would be if the tope 3% of the population doesn't qualify.

And IQ in excess of 140 is in the top 1%.

Y'all have an embarrassment of riches.

Who cares about nnat and cogat when you have a WISC?

VCI and PRI can be markedly higher than WMI and PSI which are often closer to average (100) in gifted kids.

Looking for subtest scores in the area of 15 and higher

140+ FSIQ or GAI is a strong score

Thanks, PP. DC has VCI and PRI between 130 and 140, but PSI is only 105 and WMI in 120s. I thought there was something wrong with DC given the unevenness in the subtest scores. Your post is reassuring.

What were your DC's cogat and nnat scores?

DC is in a private school right now, so there is no cogat or nnat scores. I didn't prep DC. He has all kind of "negative traits" of gifted kids since young, such as severe food allergies, difficulty falling asleep, need very little sleep, emotional sensitivity, really mind tags and socks seams, strong will and highly spirited, preferred adults than kids, very hard to parent. So I am very curious about what he can do on his own. We are thinking of switching him over to the public school coming fall.

We have same issue-DC in pool based on NNAT and CoGAT scores in 130's, but FSIQ only 121 based on only average WMI and PSI despite a GAI of 140.

Did your child get a lower score than you wanted them to get on their wisc, OP?

Please share the sub-test scores as well. Thanks.
