The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC)

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) is a widely used assessment tool that measures a child's cognitive abilities across various areas, including reasoning, memory, and problem-solving. It provides an overall IQ score and detailed insights into different skills, helping identify strengths and weaknesses. The test involves tasks like answering questions, solving puzzles, and completing activities suited for children aged 6 to 16. Professionals use WISC results to understand a child's learning profile, guide educational planning, and diagnose issues such as learning disabilities or intellectual development concerns.
