Stanford vs WIPPSI

Submitted by an LD OnLine user on

Okay, here are the numbers folks and I am VERY confused.
WIPPSI Verbal 97 Performance 100 Full 98

Stanford Verbal 92 Abstract 136 Composite 116

My original concern on the WIPPSI was that I didn’t think it was a accurate reflection of his intellegince as he would test lower on verbal because of the speech issues he has. The first test put him in the 47th percentile and the secound test put him in the 86th percentile overall. The psychologist has indicated that this difference is of no real consequence because you aren’t comparing apples to apples with these two tests. I have read understanding tests and measurements but remain confused about certain things. 1# Is there cause for concern here? It seems to
me that this validates my thoughts about
the non-verbal aspects of his intellect.
2# Can these tests be compared. If so how?
3# What does the psych mean when he says
“Although there appears to be an enormous
difference, the strength areas of the
WIPPSI are similar to the score on the
Stanford Binet” ?
Can someone please help? At least point me in a direction? I have been reading test results for 20 years but never had to work with the Stanford Binet. Thank you big time in advance.
