The WISC (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children) assesses the intellectual abilities of children between the ages of 6 and 16. It is often used in educational and clinical settings to identify children with learning disabilities, evaluate giftedness, and guide educational and therapeutic interventions. The WISC measures a broad range of intellectual abilities, including verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed. The score is calculated from the performance on a series of subtests, each focusing on a different cognitive ability. In the WISC-IV, the "superior" range for the full-scale IQ score is considered to be 130-139. However, it is important to note that individual scores on the subtests may vary greatly and should also be taken into consideration when assessing a child's overall cognitive abilities.
