Wechsler Preschool & Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI-IV)

If you have spotted signs of intellectual giftedness in your child, or have other concerns about your child’s intellectual functioning in the verbal, visual spatial processing, fluid reasoning, working memory and/or processing speed domains, you may wish to consider the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI-IV).

The primary aim of obtaining an IQ assessment at such an early age is to enable parents and caregivers to have a fuller appreciation of their child’s intellectual abilities and to be able to support their child in a specific and targeted way.

WPPSI comprises various subtests designed to assess your child’s cognitive abilities. A composite score will be calculated for each cognitive domain general intellectual ability (i.e. Full Scale IQ).

WPPSI is often combined with other psychometric assessments such as the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test (WIAT-III) to provide a fuller picture of your child’s intellectual and academic functioning.

As we mentioned above, the overall IQ score is never as important as the roadmap into your child’s functioning that a detailed IQ report provides. Our experienced child psychologists will always explain the results in detail and what they mean to you and your child.
