Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI)

The Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI) is the most widely used test of intelligence for preschool children around the world. It is used for children between the ages of 2-7. The scale consists of several Verbal and NonVerbal subtests that provide individual results of the child’s cognitive abilities but also, a combined measure of General Cognitive Ability.

The test is administered by a trained mental health professional such as a School Psychologist and it takes around 60 minutes to complete depending on many factors such as the child’s specific difficulties.

WPPSI can be used to measure the general cognitive ability of the child and together with other assessment tools to identify the possibility of giftedness, developmental intellectual delays and also learning difficulties. This assessment is used in order to develop a personalized intervention plan for the child.
