Cognitive Processing & Intellectual Measures Tests

These tests are all broken down into subtests that measure different areas of cognitive processing that are combined to give what are often referred to as index scores. Full-Scale Intelligence Score (FSIQ) is generated from a combination of subtests that are also included in the index scores. One of the following comprehensive measures below will be administered.

Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WIAS-IV)

An individually designed IQ test designed to measure intellectual and cognitive ability in adults and older adolescents (ages 16 – 90 ). The Full-Scale Intelligence Quotient (FSIQ) is composed of 10 subtests which are broken down 4 Index scores (i.e. areas of processing): Verbal Comprehension, Perceptual Reasoning, Working Memory, and Processing Speed.

Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Fifth Edition WISC-V

An individually administered intelligence test for children between the ages of 6 and 16. The WISC-V is broken down into 5 index scores (i.e. areas of processing): Verbal Comprehension, Visual Spatial, Fluid Reasoning, Working Memory, and Processing Speed. The Full-Scale IQ is taken from 7 subtests from the indexes above.

Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence, Third Edition  (WPPSI-III)

An individually administered intelligence test designed for ages 2 years, 6 months to 7 years, 7 months. This test provides Verbal and Performance index scores and depending on age may give a Processing Speed Quotient and a General Language Composite.

Woodcock-Johnson Test of Cognitive Abilities, Fourth Edition (WJ-IV)

An individually administered test that can be administered to children from age 2 to adults in their 90s. The WJ-IV COG measures 7 areas of cognitive processing and yields a General Intellectual Ability Index (GIA) score based on 7 subtests. The WJ-IV measures Verbal Comprehension, Fluid Reasoning, Visual Processing, Long-term Retrieval, Auditory Processing, Short-term Working Memory, and Cognitive Processing Speed.
