What Is Gifted Testing?

Gifted testing is a comprehensive evaluation of a child’s cognitive abilities, including reasoning, problem-solving, memory, and processing speed. At Solari, we use gold-standard, research-based assessments to identify advanced intellectual abilities and learning profiles.

We commonly administer:

  • WISC-V (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children – Fifth Edition) for school-age children

  • WPPSI-IV (Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence – Fourth Edition) for younger children

  • WAIS-IV (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale - Fourth Edition) for older teens and young adults.

These widely recognized IQ tests are often required for:

  • Gifted & Talented (GT) program qualification

  • Private school admissions

  • Academic acceleration or enrichment planning

Who Is Gifted Testing For?

Gifted assessments may be appropriate if your child:

  • Learns quickly or shows advanced reasoning skills

  • Becomes bored or under-challenged in school

  • Demonstrates strong curiosity, creativity, or intense interests

  • Is being considered for a GT program or private school placement

  • Needs a clearer understanding of their learning profile

What You’ll Receive

Following your child’s cognitive assessment, you’ll receive a comprehensive, easy-to-understand report that includes:

  • Full-scale IQ and index scores

  • Clear interpretation of your child’s cognitive strengths and differences

  • Identification of gifted or advanced abilities (if present)

  • Personalized recommendations for school, enrichment, and home support

  • Documentation suitable for GT programs and private school admissions
