# data[].attributes.body
Pearson offers an intelligence test, the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, which is designed to measure intellectual ability (full scale IQ score) and 5 cognitive domains that impact them (Verbal Comprehension Index, Visual Spatial Index, Fluid Reasoning Index, Working Memory Index, and Processing Speed Index). It can be taken at 6 years old and takes about an hour. There is one designed for preschool as well as adults. It can be administered with paper and pencil or digitally. This test can also be found in Spanish!

Product Details

The WISC-V gives school psychologists, clinical psychologists and neuropsychologists flexibility and interpretive power to get a broader view of a child's cognitive abilities.

Benefits

Increase construct coverage without increasing test time.

Identify and diagnose intellectual and learning disabilities.

Evaluate cognitive processing strengths and weaknesses.

Assess giftedness and the impact of brain injuries.

Significantly reduce testing time to obtain FSIQ.

Supports more flexible evaluation of specific learning disabilities and two major approaches to specific learning disability identification: (1) pattern of strengths and weaknesses analyses and (2) ability-achievement discrepancy analyses.

Features

WISC-V delivers more flexibility, more content and more interpretive power.

Three new primary subtests - Visual Puzzles, Figure Weights, and Picture Span - measure the ability to analyze and synthesize information, quantitative reasoning and induction, and visual working memory.

Five new complementary subtests assess cognitive processes important to academic achievement in reading, math, and writing.

Simplified instructions with reduced vocabulary level, shorter discontinue rules and refined scoring criteria.

Full scoring reports and interpretive reports include narrative interpretation scores.

Separate visual spatial and fluid reasoning composite scores results in greater interpretive clarity.

Automatically converts total raw scores to subtest scaled scores and sums of scaled scores to composites scores.

Statistical links to two measures of academic achievement: KTEA-3 and WIAT-III.

Updated normative sample standardized on 2,200 children aged 6:0-16:11.

Sample Reports

Score reports automatically convert total raw scores to subtest scaled scores and sums of scaled scores to composite scores, including the FSIQ and numerous index scores. Interpretive reports include narrative interpretation of scores.

FAQs

Select a question below to see the response.

Test Framework, Revision Goals, and General Practice Issues

The supplement contains all tables needed to fill out the Ancillary and Complementary Analysis and Process Analysis pages of the Record Form. You do not need the supplement during administration. You will only need it during scoring and only if you wish to supplement the primary analysis using these other scores.

Do I need all three stimulus books?

Stimulus Books 1 and 2 are necessary when administering the 10 primary subtests. Stimulus Book 3 is necessary when administering the complementary subtests.

Where do I record process observations and contrast scores on the Record Form? Where are the instructions about how to calculate these scores?

The Record Form does not provide designated space to tally or derive process observations or contrast scores because they are not used for every administration or by every practitioner. The Record Form pages associated with each subtest and with summary and analysis were also subject to horizontal and vertical space limitations. These limitations are due to the maximum amount of printed and white space and pages available within a durable, bound paper booklet. There was simply not room to include these optional scores.

Page 50 of the WISC-V Administration and Scoring Manual provides the instructions for recording process observations on the Record Form in undesignated space (i.e., the margins of the Record Form). Page 76 of the manual provides instructions on using the tables in Appendix D of the WISC-V Technical and Interpretive Manual to obtain the normative information for selected process observations for certain subtests.

The Record Form also does not provide space to derive contrast scores. However, Appendix C of the WISC-V Technical and Interpretive Manual contains the necessary directions and tables to derive these scores, as well as the corresponding interpretive information.

On the Process Analysis page in the Raw Score to Base Rate Conversion table, the number of errors sometimes occurs with multiple base rates. For example, 1 error for a child aged 9 for BDde corresponds with both < 15 and < 10. What should I do?

Use the smaller of the two numbers because of how cumulative percentages are calculated. Refer to p. 75 of the WISC-V Administration and Scoring Manual.

Finding the motivation to make positive lifestyle changes can be hard for anyone. For teenagers, it can be especially difficult when parents are the ones telling them to do it. But if they've fallen into unhealthy habits like vaping or alcohol abuse, change can be beneficial. Motivational interviewing is a form of therapy that creates a safe, non-judgmental environment for teens to establish their own goals and values and see how changing unhealthy behaviors can benefit them in the long run.

This series of articles comes from the Child Mind Institute, with most available in English and Spanish. Why might teens be resistant to therapy and how can parents and others to help them get the treatment they need? The articles explain how motivational interviewing can help teens gain the self-confidence to make important behavioral changes. To read more about motivational interviewing, and to connect with the articles in both English and Spanish, please visit CPIR's abstract.
