Karen says:Although some of the subtests of the Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Abilities (Third Edition) can be combined to get an IQ, it’s not considered a first choice for that purpose. It’s primarily used as a test of how a child processes different kinds of information or performs on tasks measuring certain narrow cognitive skills.
