Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The WISC-IV (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, 4th Edition) is specifically designed to assess the IQ of children aged 6-16. It is a standardized test that measures a wide range of cognitive abilities, including verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed. The other options listed are not appropriate for measuring the IQ of a six-year-old child. The WAIS-III (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, 3rd Edition) is designed for adults, the SAT is a college admissions exam, and the Dove Counterbalance test is not a well-known and widely-used intelligence test.
