Gold standard IQ testing for Whittier, CA.
Seeking an accurate measure of cognitive ability?
Are you seeking an accurate measure of cognitive ability? Whether you need an official IQ score for a private school application in the Whittier area, to apply for a gifted program, or simply for a deeper understanding of your or your child's cognitive profile, a professionally administered, standardized IQ test is the gold standard.
At Huntington Psychological Services, we provide standalone IQ testing services for children, adolescents, and adults from the Whittier community. From our office in nearby Pasadena, this focused assessment is designed to provide a reliable and accurate measure of intellectual ability in a professional, one-on-one setting.
Common reasons for an IQ test.
Unlike a comprehensive evaluation designed to diagnose a condition, a standalone IQ test is typically sought for a specific purpose. Common reasons include:
Admissions requirements for private or independent schools.
Application for a gifted and talented (GATE) program or summer camp.
Eligibility for certain organizations, such as Mensa.
Gaining personal insight into one’s own cognitive strengths and weaknesses.
Establishing a baseline of intellectual functioning for future reference.
Our IQ testing approach:
-
Comprehensive intake forms
Before your appointment, you will complete detailed intake forms online. This allows our clinician to gather all necessary background and developmental history efficiently, ensuring the in-person session can be dedicated entirely to testing in a comfortable and focused manner.
-
One-on-one IQ test administration
We conduct a direct, individual administration of a gold-standard, comprehensive intelligence test, such as the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-V) or the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-5). The test is administered by an experienced clinician in a quiet, distraction-free environment to ensure the most valid and reliable results.

FAQs
-
We provide standalone IQ testing for children, adolescents, college students, and adults.
-
The cost depends on the specific tests required. We are transparent about our fees and will discuss the estimated cost during your free consultation.
-
We use only the most current, "gold-standard" intelligence tests that are widely accepted for school admissions and clinical purposes. Our primary instruments are the Wechsler scales, including the WISC-V (for children and adolescents), the WAIS-5 (the most recent version for adults), and the WPPSI-IV (for young children). We also offer other comprehensive tests like the RIAS-2. For individuals where a language-reduced assessment is more appropriate, we provide nonverbal IQ tests such as the CTONI-2 or TONI-4. Our clinician will determine the most suitable test based on age and the specific reason for the evaluation to ensure the most valid results.
-
Our standalone IQ test provides a detailed measure of cognitive ability only. A full psychoeducational or neuropsychological evaluation is much broader and is designed to diagnose a condition; it includes additional tests of academic achievement, memory, attention, and emotional functioning.
-
From the testing session to the final feedback session, the process typically takes 1-2 weeks.
