About IQ Testing at CAPSS:
We offer self-scheduling for IQ testing for children ages 4-12 for educational planning purposes. This includes the WISC-V or WPPSI-IV, which are required by several private schools in the greater Seattle area such as The Evergreen School (Shoreline), University Child Development School (Seattle), Seattle Country Day School (Queen Anne), Open Window School (Bellevue), and Seabury School (Tacoma).
While we are most familiar with the Puget Sound gifted schools, we also provide IQ testing for families applying to private gifted schools in California including The Nueva School (SF Bay Area), Harker (SF Bay Area), and Mirman (Los Angeles), and across the country.
Families who would like a clearer picture of their child’s cognitive profile for school planning or general information are also welcome to schedule testing, even if they are not applying to these specific private schools.
How to Prepare Your Child for IQ Testing
Unlike school tests, IQ tests measure a child’s problem-solving and reasoning skills on new tasks. Any prior exposure to the testing materials will invalidate results, so please do not “prep” your child for IQ testing.
To prepare your child for their testing, please encourage a good night of sleep the night before, and a meal or snack before they arrive. You can tell them they will do some fun activities with an adult, such as puzzles and questions, to find out how their brain learns best. Try to avoid the word “testing” if possible. Your child is welcome to bring their favorite stuffed animal, water bottle, and snack to the appointment.
IQ Testing or Comprehensive Evaluation?
Note that self-scheduled IQ testing is a standalone service and is not a comprehensive evaluation. During these brief appointments, we administer the IQ test, review the results with you, and provide a brief written report.
Because these appointments are limited to IQ testing, we are not able to answer questions about diagnoses, learning differences, ADHD, autism, school services or accommodations, or other concerns that require a comprehensive evaluation.
If you have questions or concerns about your child's development, learning, attention, or behavior, please complete our New Client Inquiry Form to request a comprehensive evaluation.
