IQ Testing

What is IQ testing?

IQ testing provides a picture of a person’s overall cognitive functioning. Overall intelligence (IQ) is comprised of several aspects of cognitive functioning and IQ testing will measure potential in the following areas:

• Verbal problem-solving

• Non-verbal (visual-spatial) problem-solving

• Working memory

• Processing speed.

Reasons for IQ testing:

• Requirement for school admissions/extracurricular programs

• To understand how a person’s cognitive profile is impacting their academics, school, or work experiences.

The Testing Process involves:

• 2 hour testing session

• Brief written report of scores

• 30 minute phone call with you to discuss results

A note on preparation: You should not do anything to prepare or practice for intelligence testing, as this will invalidate the results. The most important thing you can do to prepare for the appointment is to get a good night’s rest prior to testing and eat a healthy breakfast the morning of testing.

Fees: I charge a flat fee for testing which will be determined, based on the test and subtests that are administered. IQ testing is not covered by insurance.

Your Right to a Good Faith Estimate: You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
