Many parents may think that if children's potential can be recognized and understood through intelligence tests, they can teach students in accordance with their aptitude and carry out targeted education and training.

Then, let's discuss the problem of "intelligence test" together.

Intelligence test is a method to measure by quantifying intelligence activities.

Because the advanced neuropsychiatric activities of human beings are very complicated, intelligence must be measured in many ways in order to fully reflect a child's development level.

General intelligence tests are based on children's performance in four energy fields: motor ability, reaction ability, reaction ability and speech ability.

At present, there are many kinds of intelligence tests and intelligence scales in the world, and the commonly used intelligence tests in China can be divided into two categories: screening intelligence tests and diagnostic intelligence tests.

Either way, the method is one-on-one testing, that is, the tester puts forward requirements or questions, and the testee operates or answers them.

In the process of testing, we should also observe the children's attention, reaction, emotion and other factors, which is a common method in the world today, rather than using instruments or computers as some parents think.

Screening intelligence test is a relatively simple, rapid and economical method, some of which are also suitable for group tests, which can screen children with growth, development or intelligence problems in a short time and divide them into three results: normal, abnormal or suspicious.

The commonly used screening intelligence test methods in Changsha Maternal and Child Health Hospital are: Denver Intelligence Screening Test (DDST for short): this method includes four energy areas, namely, 105, which is suitable for children aged from 0 to 6 months.

Painting experiment: suitable for children over five years old, asking children to draw a full-length portrait of a person according to their own imagination.

It can test children's intelligence level, thinking, reasoning, spatial concept, perception and emotion.

Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT): It is a test book with 120 pictures. Each picture consists of four pictures, one of which is designated to represent a word.

This method can measure children's ability to understand vocabulary. Suitable for children aged 4 ~ 9.

If there are problems after screening, you can carry out diagnostic testing methods, and you can get IQ or DQ after diagnostic testing.

The diagnostic intelligence test methods commonly used in Changsha Maternal and Child Health Hospital are as follows: ① Geissel Developmental Diagnostic Scale: This method includes five aspects: "adaptability, large amount of exercise, fine movements, language energy area and personal-social communication", which is suitable for children aged 0-6.

② Bailey Infant Development Scale: This method includes intelligence scale, exercise scale and behavior record. Suitable for children under two and a half years old.

③ Wechsler intelligence scale for children: This method includes 65,438+00 items of "building blocks, similarity, memorization, picture concept, decoding, vocabulary, letter-number, matrix reasoning, understanding and symbol extraction", which is suitable for children aged 6-65,438+06.

For some parents who are obsessed with whether their children are smart or backward, experts think it is unnecessary to bear this mental burden.

Because children's intellectual development is dynamic, it constantly develops and changes with the increase of age and contact with the outside world.

If children's movements or language development lags behind their peers in the process of growth and development, or students' academic performance is poor and they have learning difficulties, parents can consider coming to the hospital for an intelligence test, because the test results can reflect their current level of intellectual development.

Children's intelligence test can be used as the basis of differential diagnosis and curative effect in some diseases, and can be used as the information of children's development in children's health care, so as to find out the deviation of intelligence development as soon as possible, find out the reasons as soon as possible and take measures to correct it.
