I'm a high school graduate taking a gap year before I start college and I'd love to look into what this means for me academically and what I can do to make things as easy for myself as possible.
I don't want to take up too much of anyone's time, but essentially my question is this: although clearly none of you know me and test results can't be interpreted the same way for everyone, what does this kind of gap generally mean?

Who gave you this test? I am a grad psych student and have taken a class in testing. The only person who can interpret the results is the person who have it to you or another psychologist with expertise in testing. From what I know the different numbers show that you have strengths and weaknesses (like everyone else). The higher category is your stronger one, the lower your weaker. I would want to know why you took the test and what you are hoping to find in the results. I'm surprised you got the numbers without any explanation- that doesn't make any sense. So you have a follow up appointment to find out what to do with these results? We can give you our best guesses, but the only person who can really interpret your results is a doctorate level psychologist who specializes in IQ testing.
I have to edit this to just reiterate that any opinions here are just that- guesses. Because someone with similar score distributions was diagnosed with a NVL does not mean the same for you at all. These tests are often given by psychologists who have limited training in the scoring of these tests and misinterpret the results. Please get an appointment with someone who knows what they are doing as this stuff is very sensitive and complicated.
