Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) is a standardized test designed to assess the cognitive abilities of children aged 6 to 16. It measures different aspects of intelligence, such as vocabulary, reasoning, memory, and problem-solving skills. The test provides a full-scale IQ score, as well as specific scores in areas like verbal comprehension, visual-spatial reasoning, working memory, and processing speed. Educators and psychologists use WISC results to understand a child's strengths and challenges, helping to inform educational strategies, diagnose learning disabilities, or identify intellectual development levels.
