MOXO ATTENTION TEST
The Moxo Attention Test is an expert-administered, opinion and emotion-free test that measures Attention, Timing, Impulsivity and Hyperactivity performance.
Moxo has been found to be highly effective in measuring performance levels of attention, timing, impulsivity and hyperactivity. The test's rapidly growing popularity is due to the unique Distractor System found in the Moxo attention test. In order to focus on a seemingly simple MOXO task, the individual must ignore the visual and auditory distractors in the test, just as they would do in daily life. In order to achieve this, the individual has to actively inhibit the distractors, which makes the test much more challenging and the defining characteristics of the test much more advanced. The Moxo attention test results in a personalized report that enables academic and career planning and helps to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the individual.
*The Moxo attention test is only administered by specialized physicians and psychologists.
WISC-4 INTELLIGENCE TEST
The WISC-4 Intelligence Test is a modern and up-to-date intelligence scale that is more compatible with today's children and young people, created by the development of the WISC-R intelligence test, which has been used since the 1970s.
Today, with the advances in technology and education, children's cognitive skills have changed, and therefore the effectiveness of outdated intelligence tests has decreased. Considering this situation, WISC-4 is designed to more accurately understand children's relations with the outside world and to evaluate children in accordance with the conditions of the world in which they live. WISC-4 can be used to evaluate adaptation problems, attention and perception problems, school success, social skills and to monitor the development process. Test results are not indicated as scores. Thanks to this approach that prevents labeling of children, it is possible to focus on the child's orientations, giftedness and weaknesses.
Since the name of the WISC-4 test has not yet become widespread among the public, the name WISC-R continues to be used. It is correct to apply the WISC-4 intelligence scale, which is more up-to-date and comprehensive, in WISC-R requests.
The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-4) test is administered to children and adolescents (aged 6 years 0 months to 16 years 11 months). The WISC-4 intelligence scale, which also measures the child's intelligence level and other cognitive abilities, is divided into 15 subtests and 4 main sections: Verbal Comprehension, Perceptual Reasoning, Working Memory and Processing Speed.
The duration of the test may vary between 1.5 and 2 hours depending on the speed and motivation of the child. In the evaluation of the test, all the behaviors of the child during the test (cooperation during the test, relationship with the tester, motivation to work, attention, emotional reactions, etc.) are also very important. For this reason, the test results should not be evaluated only as a score, but should be considered holistically. In addition to the test, the evaluation is completed by taking into account information from the family and third sources (school and environment).
According to the evaluations made, the strengths of the child/adolescent and the aspects that need to be supported, if any, are determined and it is useful in making academic/work life planning in accordance with the results. In addition, the WISC-4 intelligence test contains information that will help diagnose many variables related to intelligence and many behavioral problems.
The WISC-4 intelligence scale is administered only by specialized psychologists with a certificate of competence to administer the test. The test cannot be administered more than once a year. Tests administered by unqualified people give false results and are not valid.
The test, which is administered by Certified Psychologists in our institution, is sent to the person concerned with a comprehensive evaluation report.
