Gifted Assessments in Calgary
Identifying Advanced Cognitive Ability and Learning Needs
Some individuals demonstrate advanced reasoning, creativity, and problem-solving abilities that differ from typical learning patterns. A gifted assessment helps identify these cognitive strengths and better understand how someone learns, thinks, and processes information.
At Ten Psychology, we provide gifted assessments in Calgary for older teens, post-secondary students, and adults who want a clearer understanding of their intellectual profile. These assessments can provide insight into cognitive strengths and help guide educational or professional planning.
What Is a Gifted Assessment?
A gifted assessment is a psychological evaluation used to identify advanced intellectual abilities. The assessment focuses on cognitive reasoning, problem-solving, memory, and processing speed to understand how someone thinks and learns.
A comprehensive gifted assessment may include:
Cognitive testing that evaluates reasoning and problem-solving ability
Measures of verbal and non-verbal intelligence
Assessment of working memory and processing speed
Review of academic or educational history
Discussion of learning patterns and cognitive strengths
The goal is to understand intellectual strengths and how they influence learning, creativity, and performance.
