Gifted child/teen — would an assessment be worthwhile?

No questionnaire “detects” high potential: only a psychometric assessment with a psychologist can. This parent-answered orientation questionnaire weighs a more useful question: would an assessment be worthwhile, now, for your child?

Take the test now

No questionnaire can say whether your child is gifted — that’s the work of a psychometric assessment (WISC-V, WPPSI-IV) with a psychologist. You’ll answer ABOUT your child; this questionnaire answers a useful question: would an assessment be a relevant step, now, for them?

~4 min. This is an orientation, not a diagnosis — the result is meant to share with a professional. Your answers stay on your device.

MoodTrakr orientation questionnaire (2026), informed by documented identification practices (McClain & Pfeiffer 2012; Vaivre-Douret 2011) and the critical literature (Ramus & Gauvrit 2017). Not clinically validated. WISC®, WPPSI® and WAIS® are trademarks of Pearson, cited as references: no Pearson content is reproduced.

What is this test for?

It takes stock of the noticed advance and ease, curiosity and speed, school boredom, being out of step, and above all heterogeneity (very strong in some areas, costly in others), as well as what an assessment would concretely change. It produces no IQ score.

Who is it for?

For parents of a child or teenager who are wondering. You answer about your child; the answers stay on your device and feed none of your personal recommendations.

How does it work?

You answer 13 questions (yes/no and an agreement scale). The result indicates whether a psychometric assessment seems worthwhile, worth considering, or not required today — and may point you to twice-exceptionality or executive functions. No IQ task, no number. Everything is computed in the browser.

The science behind this test

Identifying high potential rests on a Wechsler scale taken individually with a psychologist: WISC-V for ages 6–16, WPPSI-IV for younger children. These tools are standardised, professionally restricted, and cannot exist “online”. The number alone is not enough: it is the clinical analysis of the profile that gives the assessment its value.

Full transparency

A MoodTrakr orientation questionnaire, built from the cited criteria and identification practices. It is not an IQ test and identifies no high potential: only an individual psychometric assessment (WISC-V, WPPSI-IV) can.

  • MoodTrakr orientation questionnaire, not validated: it weighs the value of an assessment step, it does not identify high potential.
  • This is not an IQ test: no task, no score, no “range”. Only an individual psychometric assessment identifies giftedness.
  • You are answering ABOUT your child: the answers stay encrypted on this device and feed neither your profile nor your personal recommendations.
  • High potential is neither a disorder nor a guarantee: an assessment is worth what it concretely changes for your child.

The reference tests used by professionals

This questionnaire replaces none of the tools used in consultation. Here are the ones professionals actually use:

  • WISC-V (6–16 yrs) / WPPSI-IV (2½–7 yrs) — Wechsler scales, administered individually by a psychologist — the only recognised identification of high potential
  • Full psychological assessment — the number alone is not enough: the analysis of the profile (strengths, fragilities, impact) gives the assessment all its value

Frequently asked questions

Is this an IQ test for my child?

No. It contains no task and gives no IQ score. It only weighs the value of a real psychometric assessment, which takes place with a psychologist.

Which assessment, at what age?

The WISC-V is for ages 6–16; the WPPSI-IV for younger children (2½ to 7). They are taken individually, by a qualified professional.

Would a “negative” assessment be useless?

No: an assessment is worth it for the answers it brings, either way, and for the fine analysis of the profile (strengths and fragilities) — not just for a number.

Are the answers about my child private?

Yes. They stay encrypted on your device, are sent to no server, and feed none of your personal recommendations.
