The Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children is an intelligence test for children ages 6 to 16. This individually administered intelligence test can be completed without the ability to read or write. The assessment contains 10 primary core subtests along with five additional subtests. All of the subtests can be summarized into four indexes.
The test takes 65 and 80 minutes to administer to most children. It may require more time if additional subtests are used, as in the case of children who demonstrate greater intelligence. However, less time may be required for children who exhibit various levels of mental disabilities. The WISC®-IV can be used to identify giftedness, learning disabilities, as well as cognitive strengths and weaknesses.
