IQ Testing
You can self-schedule your child’s IQ testing appointment by clicking on the link of the psychologist below that you would like to schedule with. As our providers each have their own practice, they each set their own schedule and rates for IQ testing.
We provide IQ testing, or cognitive testing, for admissions for several local private schools that require it, including The Evergreen School, University Child Development School (UCDS), Seattle Country Day School (SCDS), and Open Window School. Additionally, some families who are not necessarily applying to private schools but who would like to know more about their child’s cognitive profile for school planning or informational purposes, are welcome to schedule these test sessions.
IQ testing appointments typically take about 1.5 hours, and involve engaging activities in a one-on-one setting that kids generally enjoy. The testing itself is generally about one hour, give or take 15 minutes, and includes short breaks as needed. A written report and discussion of results are provided following the session.
Unlike standardized testing in school, IQ tests are designed to measure children’s problem solving and reasoning abilities on novel tasks. Any prior exposure to the testing materials will invalidate the results. Please do not attempt to “prep” your child for IQ testing.
It is helpful to try and make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep and breakfast beforehand. Your child is also welcome to bring along some snacks and water bottle for breaks, as well as a comfort items such as a favorite stuffed animal or object from home that they would like to show their examiner.
If you are interested in IQ testing for your child aged 4-12, please self-schedule directly with one of our psychologists using the links above.
Please note that most individuals we see for IQ testing are between ages 4-12 as they are applying to kindergarten through 8th grade. Some of our psychologists offer IQ tests outside of this age range; to book IQ testing for a client younger than 4 or older than 12, please complete our New Client Inquiry Form.
