Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence

The Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI) is a standardized test designed to assess the intellectual abilities of young children, typically aged 2 years 6 months to 7 years 7 months. It measures various aspects of intelligence, such as reasoning, problem-solving, language skills, and memory, through engaging activities and questions. The test provides scores that help identify a child's strengths and areas needing support, often used by educators and psychologists to inform educational planning or detect developmental concerns. It's a reliable tool for understanding cognitive development in early childhood.
