I have received the report from the neuro-psychologist. As I thought, it is purely an intelligence test (WPPSI-III). I have to take the results with a little pinch of salt as J did not answer all the questions, even some of them that I know he knows (eg what does a telephone do). Bang goes my idea that he is very intelligent as according to this he has an IQ of 97 (ie average for his age). But I knew he wasn't academically gifted...
This is what it says - if anyone can cast any further light, it would be much appreciated
His verbal skills are average for his age.
His performance skills are also average for his age, although he has "constructing abilities below the standard expected for his age in reproducing a model based on 4 cubes" - on the other hand, he correctly conceptualises when presented with images.
His grapho-motor skills are, according to the test, good.
The conclusion is that he is normal for his age and that although a physical agitation was noted during the test, particularly during the verbal part of the test, it is not possible to diagnosis ADHD at this time. The cube exercises revealed visuo-constructive problems for which an eye exam is recommended (he has already had a complete one - no problems).
So, not sure what, if anything, this tells me...
