We perform a battery of tests which are accepted across most countries & are 100% valid in all schools and other institutes. The tests included in the battery are IQ test, ADHDt, WRAT or DTLD and if necessary projective tests like CAT, TAT or HTP.

IQ tests

An intelligence quotient (IQ) is a total score derived from several standardized tests designed to assess human intelligence. IQ scores are used for educational placement, assessment of intellectual disability, and evaluating job applicants. Even when students improve their scores on standardized tests, they do not always improve their cognitive abilities, such as memory, attention and speed.
