When Gf (Fluid Reasoning) is higher, it may
indicate the child has good verbal reasoning ability
and can solve problems most easily when they are
able to translate visual into verbal material

When Gv (Visual Reasoning) is higher, it may indicate the
child has good basic visual skills, but difficulty using visual
information, as when making predictions based on charts and
graphs, and integrating visual information to solve a problem

When Gc lexical (Crystalized Lexical Knowledge) is
higher, it may indicate that the child can reason
with words, but has limited factual information;
writing may be hard because they know the words
to use, but have little to say, and can read but not
understand important points
Are These Unitary Factors? (< 5 points)
Gc lexical highest score - lowest score
Yes No
Gc general highest score - lowest score
Yes No
- = Needed - 17 Sig Non
When Gc general (General Crystalized Knowledge) is higher,
it may indicate that the child has good factual knowledge,
but difficulty with words; this may mean that on writing
assignments, the child knows what to say that does not know
how to say it, and may be able to read and understand
familiar topics but have difficulty with novel material
