How Long Does a WISC Result Last For

[faltskog5450]

Hi,

 

Does anyone know how long the results for the WISC test (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children) would remain valid. Ie. If a child just under the age of 7 had one done back in approx March 2007, would it still give a good representation of the child now when they are 10?

 

Thanks

I had the welchers test as far as aware what they did with me to whether which team to fit on as I turned 18 it tests the persons IQ so this tells you if you have a learning disability and which team fit o.

 

Person that has a IQ of 70 and below has a learning disabilty. The person with IQ of 70+ does not have a learning disability but doesn't fit the learning disability team.

 

This sounds pathetic but the learning disability team of psychologist team only works with patients who are below 70.

I wouldn't think it would give a useful reflection of the child's profile for more than a year. Children's development is very patchy and uneven and all sorts of changes could take place over three years, especially between the ages of 7 and 10 when a lot of cognitive changes and physical growth takes place.
