IQ Testing (cognitive assessment)
What is a Cognitive Assessment?
A cognitive assessment is an intelligence test that is designed to measure general cognitive ability (IQ) and potential for learning. When you undergo an IQ test with us, you will receive a personalised, tailored report outlining your cognitive profile, including your strengths and weaknesses, as well as tailored recommendations on how you can best support your brain to get the personal, educational and/or professional outcomes you are hoping for.
Our Psychologists are highly trained in the administration and scoring of intelligence tests and in providing comprehensive reports for children and adults.

-

Reports & Feedback
Following any assessment, your Psychologist will provide a comprehensive report explaining all tests used and all results, along with a comprehensive summary and list of recommendations for home, place of learning and/or work.
A 30 minute to 1 hour feedback session is then held with the client or parent/s to explain the results, go through the report and answer any additional questions. This session can also be used for planning of any further assessment or intervention that an individual may need or a parent may want to engage their child in.
