An intelligence test is a psychological assessment that measures a person's cognitive abilities, such as problem-solving, memory, and reasoning. These tests are used to: identify special education needs, diagnose developmental abnormalities or learning disabilities, and qualify individuals for educational programs. 

Intelligence tests are administered individually and include a series of tasks that are graded in difficulty. The tasks are standardized by use on a representative sample of the population.
