The first part of the report, summarized previously, described school history, family background, and behavioral patterns; the remainder of the report, as highlighted below, details findings related to testing.
- “Keyed-up and nervous throughout testing”
- “Keenly interested in doing well”
- “Worked hard and was very responsive to cues as to how to improve his performance”
- “Eager, but hasty and impulsive”
- “A very active mind which makes many associations with any task assigned…distractible”
- “Began to work more steadily and carefully”
- “Once he had relaxed…[he] showed a great deal of patience and persistence…began to attack performance tasks in a methodical, orderly way”
- “Scores ranged from average to the ‘gifted’ level”
- “Visual-motor organization is…significantly lower than…general intellectual development”
- “Since his motor skills are weak and he is not interested in sports, he has tended to develop his more verbal interests”
- “Verbal reasoning and general information fall at the ‘gifted’ level”
- “Social judgment and comprehension of society’s expectations are superior—at least, he knows the rules and the reasons for them.”
- “He has not mastered…the ability to behave independently and appropriately in concrete situations [though] he can verbalize about them quite well”
- “Evidence of insecurity and dependency”
- “[Drawings suggest] angry, frighteningly aggressive feelings but no tendency to act them out and no confidence in his ability to control his environment”
- “Very bright”
- “Abilities governed by the left…lobe of the brain”
- “Socially maladjusted in the sense that he behaves like a much younger child and has no ability to adapt to peer standards or defend himself against scapegoating”
- “Scholastic success is likely to be adversely affected because of the depression that will ensue”
- “Cannot lead a full or happy life without learning the social skills, and the confidences, which he lacks at present”
