Cognitive Skills Assessment
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
The test targets the skills that underpin school, work and everyday life.
Holding on to information and retrieving it when it matters.
Staying focused and engaged, even on long or dull tasks.
Handling information quickly rather than laboriously.
Planning, thinking things through and solving problems.
Blending, segmenting and analysing sounds — the base of reading.
Creating and manipulating mental images.
Your report
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.
How the result compares with the average for a given age group.
How far above or below average each individual skill sits.
Where the result ranks against 100 peers of the same age.
Why it matters
Finds the weak skill behind the struggle, rather than the behaviour it causes.
Choose the right intervention first time instead of trying everything.
No more years of tutoring that treats the surface and not the cause.
Re-testing later shows exactly how much has changed.
How it works
The Gibson Test measures every core cognitive skill, plus an IQ score.
We talk you through the report in plain English, score by score.
A one-to-one training plan built around the skills that need work.
One session, one report, and a clear recommendation for what comes next.
