Information about the Test Administration Fee
We recommend only looking at a few questions if you are not sure if you want to pay the $19.97 service fee.
When you are ready to take the full test, set aside about one hour where you will be in a quiet and uninterrupted
environment. Thanks for your support, and GOOD LUCK!
Intended Use: The ISIQ - Children’s Version is intended as a test that parents of young children and teenagers
can use over the Internet for measuring verbal intelligence. Scores obtained can help persons with self-
awareness, self-understanding and making plans for schooling and/or career choices. Reports can be used by
professionals as well, as in assessing for career planning, school placement and problem diagnosis. For example,
when diagnosing ADHD, learning disabilities and dyslexia, it is important to rule out mental retardation.
Description and Design: The ISIQ – Children’s Version is a 201-item multiple choice measure of verbal
intelligence designed for children ages 6 to 16. The test items were written by Dr. William A. McConochie, Ph.D.,
to measure a range of ability from a mentally slow 6 year old to a bright 16 year old.
It has about 40 items for each of five of the content areas measured: information, similarities, arithmetic,
comprehension and vocabulary. Similar to the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, 3rd and 4th Editions
(Verbal WISC III and WISC IV), the ISIQ – Children’s Version results are reliable and accurate. Indeed, the
reliabilities hold up very well across all ages from 6 through 16. For example, the mean reliability of the section
scores for 10 year olds is .84. For the same five Wechsler III tests for 10 to 11 year olds the mean is .81. The total
reliability of the ISIQ test for 10 year olds is .96, computed by the Kuder-Richardson 21 formula. For the WISC III
total it is 93. The Cronbach alpha reliability coefficients for the ISIQ total verbal I.Q. for 14 year olds is .97 while
the same measure for 14 year olds on the WISC III total verbal I.Q. is .95. The Wechsler tests are highly regarded
and widely used by clinical psychologists in the United States and were thus chosen for comparative analysis.
The author is very familiar with the Wechsler tests, having administered them in his private clinical practice for
over 40 years. He is familiar with test design, having constructed clinical, industrial and research tests for over 20
years.
A multiple-choice format was chosen to permit Internet administration and automatic, computer scoring. Each
item has 5 options, four that are possible answers and one for “I don’t know”. There is only one correct answer for
each item. When a child misses 5 items in a row, that section of the test is discontinued and the next begun. Test-
takers are urged to be serious and complete the entire test carefully. Young children should be guided by an adult
to assure reliable and valid scores.
Scores do not vary substantially by gender, ethnic group or nationality, suggesting that the test is relatively
culture-free and free of ethnic bias for English-speaking children with access to the Internet.
Report Format: After payment of the test administration fee you will receive immediate access to a written report
and certificate of intelligence quotient that can be printed for personal use. Scores are given in terms of both I.Q.
and percentile levels for all five sections and the total score. I.Q. scores are calculated by the standard deviation
formula with a mean I.Q. set at 100 and standard deviation of 15. The printed report provides a description of
verbal intelligence, reliability data and recommended interpretation of scores.
Norms: The test norms are periodically updated and are currently based on a sample of over 100,000 children
from around the world. As there are no substantial differences in scores by gender, scores are based on
comparison of the test taker's scores with those of other children the same age.
Value: Determining if a child is gifted or has special needs can give parents a valuable insight into their child's
emotional, academic and social development – this children’s IQ test can be immensely helpful in determining if
your child has special needs or is eligible for higher placement in school. Research has shown that one of the first
steps to raising a gifted child is to have him or her take an IQ test along with other forms of testing to determine
his or her strengths, weaknesses and abilities. In today's crowded educational environment, parents cannot rely
solely on their child's school to determine if their child is gifted or would benefit from being placed in a special
academic environment. Parents should take the initiative as early as possible by having their children take an
intelligence test.
In many school districts, the best way for a child to get a quality education is to be admitted into the gifted classes
or attend a special magnet school. Unfortunately, these programs often have limited enrollments so countless
parents compete for a few, coveted spots. Further, parents who are looking to get their children into these
programs often need to provide proof that their child belongs in a special or gifted program.
For years IQ testing was often an expensive and time-consuming process affordable by only the wealthiest of
parents. The process needed to be administered by a licensed and trained child psychologist who charges
anywhere from $200 to $400 for a basic assessment. This is no longer the case. The ISIQ – Children’s Version is
a valid and accurate assessment of a child's intelligence quotient and just as accurate as the Wechsler IQ tests
for children. Join the other parents from around the world who use the ISIQ – Children's Version to quickly and
affordably determine their child's level of intelligence
