Intelligence (IQ) Testing
Understanding your intellectual strengths and weaknesses can be helpful in enriching your life or the life of your child. Intelligence testing is used to help identify children and adults with exceptional levels of intelligence through an IQ test. The goal of Intelligence testing is to understand a person’s overall intelligence which is conveyed through a Full-Scale Intelligence Quotient, also known as an FSIQ score. Both high and low scores on IQ tests are meaningful and can help identify patterns of strengths and weaknesses relative to intelligence.
Breakdown of an IQ Test
Clinical Intake Appointment
The process begins with meeting a clinician to discuss background, medical, developmental, and educational history, symptoms and their severity, major life events, and family make up to better understand your unique case.
Intelligence Testing
Children complete a Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children Fifth Edition (WISC-V) which measures a child’s intellectual ability and the 5 cognitive domains that impact performance for children (Verbal Comprehension, Visual Spatial, Fluid Reasoning, Working Memory and Processing Speed).
Adults complete a Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV) which is the most advanced measure of cognitive ability that looks at the 4 domains that impact performance for adults (Verbal Comprehension, Perceptual Reasoning, Working Memory and Processing Speed).
Debrief/Feedback Session
Once all testing and questionnaires are completed, we discuss the results of tests, explain what they mean, talk about if a diagnosis is warranted, and then give you a chance to ask questions.
Report Writing
The findings of the assessment are composed into a written report with detailed recommendations.
Cost
$2000 (price subject to change depending on the amount of questionnaires or additional assessments requested).
