IQ (Intellectual Quotient): Intellectual Quotient
(IQ) testing assesses a child’s intellectual abilities across various domains, which may include verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, processing speed, and working memory. IQ testing is a crucial tool in understanding a child’s cognitive abilities and potential developmental needs.

By understanding their child’s IQ, parents can advocate for appropriate accommodations at school, access specialized resources, and provide targeted support at home. Additionally, IQ testing for adults can help identify cognitive strengths and weaknesses, aiding in career planning, educational pursuits, and personal development.
