Details
An intelligence test is a psychological assessment that measures an individual's cognitive abilities in a standardized way.
The Wechsler Adult/Children's Intelligence Scale (WAIS/WISC) is the most widely used. It evaluates not only a full-scale IQ, but also specific areas such as verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed.
Intelligence is not about being 'smart or not smart' — it's a tool for identifying a person's various cognitive strengths and weaknesses. If you'd like to understand what an intelligence test can reveal about you, Mindy is here to help.
