Individuals can book an ability assessment directly
Sakonda Industrial Psychologists in East London offers WAIS-IV as one of its ability assessments. It accepts bookings from individuals, who can select WAIS-IV on the website’s booking form.
For those who also want career guidance, Jurie Wessels in Cape Town offers a career assessment. The service combines a WAIS-IV ability assessment with personality and interest tests, then explains the results in relation to suitable study and career options.
The process includes an interview, testing, and feedback
An initial interview covers your background and reasons for seeking an assessment, followed by individual testing. WAIS-IV provides an overall IQ score and results for verbal comprehension, reasoning, working memory, and processing speed. WAIS-IV SA is administered in English.
Career assessments include tasks beyond intelligence testing, so the full testing process takes several hours. Jurie Wessels’ service provides feedback after testing, with a written report available on request about two weeks after the feedback session. The feedback brings together cognitive strengths and weaknesses, personality, and interests to help with study and career choices.
The cost of a WAIS assessment in South Africa and the time needed to receive the results are covered in separate guides.
