The fifth version of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children is the most commonly used valid and reliable scale of intelligence assessment for children and teenagers, aged 6 years and 0 months to 16 years and 11 months. The administration of the intelligence scale is done individually with the child by a psychologist licensed to practice and suitably trained in the administration of WISC-V.

The intelligence scale for children and adolescents consists of five different intelligence indices (Verbal Comprehension Index, Visual Spatial Index, Fluid Reasoning Index, Working Memory Index and Processing Speed ​​Index) and the General Intelligence Index.

The results of the WISC-V scale can highlight the potential and difficulties of the child, exclude issues of differential diagnosis and lead to appropriate intervention and training. For a complete diagnosis and evaluation of children and adolescents both clinical interviews with parents and children and other psychometric tools are used as a precaution.
