What is the goal of the WISC-V testing process?

The goal of the WISC-V testing process is to evaluate intelligence. This comprehensive assessment tool is specifically designed to measure cognitive abilities in children aged 6 to 16 years. It assesses various aspects of intellectual functioning, including verbal comprehension, visual-spatial skills, fluid reasoning, working memory, and processing speed. By evaluating these different cognitive domains, the WISC-V provides a well-rounded understanding of a child's intellectual capabilities, identifies specific strengths and weaknesses, and can assist in making educational recommendations. This focus on cognitive evaluation sets it apart from other assessments that measure different areas, such as physical fitness, school attendance, or musical talent.
