An Inventory of Tests
"While most professionals are trained to assess many kinds of children, few
are specifically trained to assess [gifted children]. The general perception is
that these youngsters, with abilities and strengths in many areas, have no
special needs, educational or otherwise, that merit serious clinical
attention. For this reason, it is important that parents who suspect that
their child may be gifted search for a professional with experience in working
with this population." Julia Osborn, Assessing Gifted Children
 Testing and
Assessment: What do these scores mean and how do they compare? explains how
IQ, achievement, individual, group, and survey assessment results compare...
or not. (PowerPoint) Presented at NACG St. Louis, November 2009 (requires
PowerPoint Viewer)
This page lists tests (in alphabetical order, after a brief section
containing the three most popular tests) commonly administered in the
process of evaluating a gifted child, with various links to additional
information on each test. The top of the page lists the most popular IQ
and achievement tests, and the rest of the page includes the rest - any test
that a visitor tells me their school district is using in the process of gifted
(and twice exceptional) identification. Each child might take only a few of these tests,
to help the evaluator gain a comprehensive picture of his/her abilities.
Quicklinks to the most common tests: Stanford Binet (SB-5) ·

When assessing
the value of any test for a specific purpose, you should always read the test
reviews in the Buros Mental Measurements
Yearbook. These reviews are available on-line for a per-test charge,
or in the reference section of any good public or college library.
Information includes, among other things, the correlation of the test's results
to other commonly accepted measures. Tests with low correlations are not
considered reliable.
For more information on
the difference between testing and assessment, read Julia Osborne's
Assessing Gifted Children. What Do the
Tests Tell Us? explains what the scores do, and do not, mean. For other articles,

that the CogAT is NOT an IQ test:
- "Q: Is CogAT an IQ test? Are SAS scores IQ scores? A: No. CogAT measures
reasoning abilities. The SAS scale used on CogAT provides normalized Standard
Age Scores for that fraction of the population that attends school. Although SAS
scores are very helpful for professionals, nonprofessionals can confuse them
with IQ scores, so they are generally not reported to parents and lay
organizations."
