Screening

Screening is a standardized, cost-effective, and brief group test (“rapid test”) that can serve as the starting point for a more comprehensive assessment.

Intelligence screenings can be used to test entire groups in order to uncover previously unrecognized talents, such as all children or adolescents within a particular age cohort, even without any specific indication or diagnostic goal. These screenings provide an opportunity for the psychological assessment of giftedness and can help ensure that underrepresented groups in gifted education receive appropriate support tailored to their abilities.
