IQ/Gifted Testing
Temple Grandin
“The world needs all kinds of minds”
Have you been noticing that your child learns faster than their peers, and tends to be curious about various subjects and areas?
Does your child get bored and impatient in classes and lessons?
Is your child asking deep questions that do not seem to fit their age range?
Are you wondering maybe your child is gifted?
Giftedness is a wonderful surprise, and it can also pose its own challenges for children if not guided properly. At Sunburst Psychology, we offer IQ testing for school admission and giftedness. With IQ testing, you learn about your child's unique strengths and needs to identify resources and strategies that can help them to excel in this modern society.
You can find detailed information below about our IQ testing service. If you cannot find answers to your questions, please don’t hesitate to email us.

Clinical Interview (in-person or virtual)
After completing of intake paperwork, you will meet with your clinician for a clinical interview. Depending on your goals for testing, the clinical interview can range from 1 to 2 hours. Your clinician will gather information about you or your child's symptoms, struggles, strengths, history. This will help the clinician better understand your concern and prepare a series of tests that works best for you or your child.
Test Administration, Scoring, and Writing
For test administration, we use questionnaires, interactive measures, self-complete measures, and information gathering from people who have close observations of you or your child to help us paint a comprehensive picture of the functioning, strengths, and weaknesses. After the testing, your clinician will spend time scoring the measures, reviewing the results and information gathered, and writing a comprehensive report on the questions you’d like an answer through assessment.
Feedback (in-person or virtual)
Once your clinician finalizes the report, we will contact you to schedule a feedback session. During this 55-minute session, your clinician will walk you through the results, share you or your child's strengths and weaknesses, answer the questions you have for the testing, and make recommendations according to the results. You can ask any questions you have during the feedback session and will have access to a copy of the final report afterwards.
