Cognitive Skills Assessment

Stop guessing.
Start measuring.

Everything at The Brain Workshop starts here. The Gibson Test of Cognitive Skills shows exactly which skills are strong, which are holding things back, and what to do about it — for a child, a teenager or an adult.

What gets measured

Six areas that decide
how easily you learn.

The test targets the skills that underpin school, work and everyday life.

Memory

Holding on to information and retrieving it when it matters.

Attention

Staying focused and engaged, even on long or dull tasks.

Processing Speed

Handling information quickly rather than laboriously.

Logic & Reasoning

Planning, thinking things through and solving problems.

Auditory Processing

Blending, segmenting and analysing sounds — the base of reading.

Visual Processing

Creating and manipulating mental images.

Your report

Clear numbers, plainly explained.

You leave with a written report of every cognitive strength and weakness, an IQ measurement, and a recommendation you can act on. Scores are shown three ways.

Age Equivalent Scores

How the result compares with the average for a given age group.

Standard Scores

How far above or below average each individual skill sits.

Percentile Scores

Where the result ranks against 100 peers of the same age.

Why it matters

The “aha” moment most families are waiting for.

Root cause, not symptoms

Finds the weak skill behind the struggle, rather than the behaviour it causes.

An informed decision

Choose the right intervention first time instead of trying everything.

Time and money saved

No more years of tutoring that treats the surface and not the cause.

A measurable baseline

Re-testing later shows exactly how much has changed.
