MENSA testing - 16th Oct
Once again, we will be facilitating MENSA testing for selected students here at HEPS. We have locked in with MENSA the 16th of October. This is a Friday and therefore a school day, with selected students being withdrawn from their class to participate.
Why MENSA testing?
There are many reasons why some people seek an IQ test. Here are a couple for you -
- Giftedness assessment context - parents sometimes pursue it (or a similar test) for a child suspected of being gifted, to inform school placement decisions and ot help with support and targeted needs.
- Validation - some people take it to confirm a suspicion (e.g., they've always felt "different" academically) or to settle a personal question.
- Curiosity - wanting an objective measure of cognitive ability, out of pure interest.
The test takes about 75 mins and is only in English. A candidate must be between 10 years to 75 years old to take the test. There are 6 sections to the test (6 intelligence areas), with each area being multiple choice style questions.
Please note - Invites for this have gone out. Please check your emails with regards to this.
If you have any questions or would like further information about this, please don't hestitate in contacting me or come and see me.
