Intelligence Quotient (IQ) is a measure of a child’s cognitive abilities—such as reasoning, problem-solving, memory, and verbal or mathematical skills. IQ evaluations are conducted by qualified psychologists using a variety of standardized tests, including:
-
Slosson Intelligence Test
-
Reynold Intelligence Assessment Scale
-
Vineland Adaptive Behaviour Scale
-
Wide Range Achievement Test
-
Conners Rating Scales
Each test provides valuable insights into different aspects of a child's development and learning needs.
These assessments are available for children aged six and above and require a referral from a healthcare provider, teacher, or school management. The goal of IQ testing is to generate a numerical score that reflects the child’s intellectual ability in comparison to the general population, helping to guide educational and developmental support.
