@cvalvarez The #VCI subtest on the #WISC requires the tester to score 0, 1, or 2 points for each answer given. For example, the Similarities subtest could hypothetically ask "How are green and blue the same?" The protocol manual lists a non-exhaustive list of possible answers. Say a kid answers, "They're dogs", that would get a 0. "They're both colors" would get a 1, whereas "They're both warm colors" would get a 2. The more abstract the 2 test terms, the more subjective the scoring can become.

Continued thread

Gotta mention the level of subjectiveness to the scoring of the #VCI subtests. #Psychologists and other testers who are not adequately trained in the needs and profiles of #ProfoundlyGifted kids may under or overscore those subtests.

In the end, #IQ is just a number that gives some interesting info about a person, but it should never form the basis of your entire identity. Trying to raise the bar that exceeds what a test can actually measure does nothing for a program, except pump up egos. /3
