Hi, 
I’d just like to have my child assessed.  She’s 6 and I suspect might be gifted.  Where can I have her tested?

We do not assess children under the age of 14. It is the limitation of the test we use. We recommend you contact the Psychological Association of the Philippines for a psychometrician. As for joining Mensa, we need a certificate from the psychometrician that the child’s score is in the 98th percentile.

You can contact the Psychological Association of the Philippines for a psychometrician near you.

Alternatively, you can consult the SPED department of the UP College of Education and they can assess if you should get your child tested.
