English/ International assessments (EN)

A gifted assessment is recommended if you feel that your child is intellectually advanced and not sufficiently stimulated by the regular curriculum. Based on the results of the gifted assessment, the school board can decide to place a child in a specialized gifted program designed for intellectually-advanced students or to meet the child’s needs through regular classroom placement augmented with a specialized gifted curriculum.

Gifted children differ from their peers in their thinking, learning style, social interactions, and emotional reactions. Therefore, they require different educational and parenting approaches. Whether or not the child meets the entrance criteria for the gifted program, the results of the gifted testing can help parents to better understand their child’s strengths and weaknesses, and to guide their decisions about extracurricular and enrichment choices.

IQ tests can measure someone’s intellectual potential or help diagnose intellectual disabilities. Complementary to the mentioned above, De Testpsycholoog provides adult assessments, our services do not include a full ‘underachievement’ or ‘giftedness’ assessment but we are capable to offer personal insights and professional advice.

We administer (and recommend) the WAIS-IV EN or the SON-R 6-40.

The WAIS-IV EN is an English language IQ test. It is an individually administered clinical instrument designed to assess the cognitive abilities of adolescent and adults aged from 16 till 90 years old.

The SON-R 6-40 test is an individual intelligence tests for general application which does not require the use of spoken or written language. Therefore, the SON-test is especially suited for people with problems in the area of language and verbal communication and for immigrants. This SON-test can be administered by adults up to 40 years old.

If any behavioral information is requested next to the IQ-information, please contact us to discuss how we can offer you an assessment that fully fits your needs.
