School Admissions Testing Katherine M. Gordon-Clark, Ph.D. Director Eugenie W. Flaherty,Ph.D. Associate Director Assessment of intellectual abilities is required or recommended by certain independent schools as one component of the admissions process. In addition, public schools often include such testing as a component of the application to a 'gifted' or 'challenge' program. Generally intellectual abilities are assessed through administration of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale or the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale. These tests are administered at the Child Study Institute by a qualified and experienced examiner. Administration takes approximately one and one-half to two hours.
