What is the WISC IQ test?

The WISC IQ test is the childrens' version of the WAIS IQ test. Like all IQ tests, it gives a score of intelligence where the average score is 100. 130 is considered gifted (And MENSA level.) 70 is considered retarded. The WISC test gives two different scores, verbal and performance. Verbal IQ indicates how you work with language, including the language of numbers. It also includes factual knowledge. Performance IQ indicates how you deal with written and picture patterns. WISC scores how well you do on the test with a number score (your IQ) and a percentile (how good that is compared to others). WISC is used to identify gifted children and struggling children.
