"Gifted testing and assessments are often done to determine if a child is intellectually gifted.  The two main categories for gifted identification are achievement tests and abilities tests.   

Achievement tests look for a child’s knowledge in a subject area. They may be group-administered, like the SAT and ACT, or they might be administered individually by a trained professional, like the Woodcock Johnson Tests of Achievement. Group-administered achievement tests are often standardized and the results provide a numerical score. Individually administered achievement tests done by a professional are often part of a larger gifted assessment whose results cover the child’s learning profile in more depth. Achievement tests can be used as gifted testing to screen students for particular areas of academic strength. 

Abilities tests evaluate a child’s cognitive abilities or intelligence quotient (IQ). These are delivered individually by a trained professional, often someone with an advanced degree in education, psychology, or social work. The results are numerical and descriptive since it often includes the professional’s observations of the child, interpretation of the results, and recommendations.  Abilities tests can be used for gifted assessment, which provides a more in-depth learning profile." - Davidson Institute

At IQRx, while we do not provide diagnoses, the fact is that many of our students come to us with previous  diagnoses, including Gifted.  Nevertheless, our cognitive skills can reflect students that have very strong skills and could potentially be diagnosed by a professional.  We help gifted children and adults with  because we can maximize cognitive skills to help them  achieve their true potential. In addition, training at every high levels of difficulty help these students manage frustration and anxiety, as well as develop perseverance and hard work.  In fact, our brain training programs strengthen all critical cognitive skills which is why children and adults who go through our program experience such significant improvements in school, work, and life.
