See how IQ Skills works

Every child learns differently.

One number hides the whole picture.

Traditional IQ tests measure many skills, then average them into one score. That number doesn't show your child's strengths and weaknesses, or how they help or hold them back at school and in future work.

Traditional in-person evaluation$5,000–$8,000

1 to 2 days with an educational psychologist. Not practical or affordable for most families.

IQ SkillsFree to start

12 short online assessments at home. A score for every skill, not just one number. $20 for everything.

Age-normed and standardized

Compared only with people their exact age.

The IQ Skills Assessment is age-normed and standardized. Your child's scores are compared only with people their exact age, which gives the fairest picture of their strengths next to their peers.

An objective cognitive assessment

  • Measures how well your child actually performs each skill
  • Shows where each skill stands compared with their peers
  • Same standardized tasks and scoring for everyone

Not a learning-styles quiz

  • Doesn't ask what your child prefers or how they like to learn
  • Doesn't label them a "visual" or "auditory" learner
  • Doesn't compare a 7-year-old with a 12-year-old

You can't fix what you can't see.

When a student struggles, grades only tell you that something is wrong. The IQ Skills reports show you why, and what to do about it.

Build on their strengths at school

Discover how your child takes in and remembers information best, so you and their teachers can teach the way they learn. Students do better, and feel more confident, when they lead with their strengths.

Find the subjects and careers that fit

The full report matches your child's cognitive profile to the academic subjects they're likely to excel in and the professions that suit how they think. It's a head start on choosing classes, college majors and career paths.

Spot what's holding them back

A weaker skill, like remembering what they hear, can quietly hold back progress in many subjects. Knowing exactly which area needs support is the first step to fixing it, instead of guessing.
