Observation and play
Parents fill in a 40-question questionnaire, and a specialist observes the child at play in eight short activities.

For parentsYour child's intelligence map
Every child shines at something. We help you see those strengths, build on them in school, and develop the areas that need more experience in ways your child will enjoy.
What's included
- questionnaires for parents, the teacher and the child (depending on age);
- play observation for children aged 3–6;
- a written report with the eight-intelligence profile in your account;
- recommendations for home and school;
- a 3-month development plan;
- an in-person or online meeting to go through the results.
What we don't promise
We don't give an “intelligence score”, predict a future career or make medical diagnoses. If we notice signs that call for a specialist (a psychologist, speech therapist or doctor), we will tell you so honestly.
Your child's data is confidential: it is collected only with your consent and stored encrypted on the server.
Which ages
Three views of one child
Questionnaires for parents and the teacher, plus simple questions for the child that an adult can read aloud.
The teenager's own voice
Teenagers fill in the questionnaire themselves, parents or a teacher complete a short form, and the results are discussed with the teenager directly.
How a child's thinking grows
Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget described four broad stages in the development of children's thinking; today we know the ages are only a rough guide: every child moves at their own pace, and little ones often understand more than Piaget thought.
Sensorimotor: learning through senses and action
Babies get to know the world through objects: they look at them, grab them, put them in their mouths and drop them, and they repeat, again and again, actions that make something interesting happen. In the second half of the first year they start searching for a toy hidden under a cloth, discovering that things still exist when out of sight.
How to help: give your baby safe everyday objects (cups, boxes, spoons), play peekaboo, hide a toy under a cloth for them to find, and name what they see and do.
Preoperational: play and imagination
Speech, drawing and pretend play blossom: a stick becomes a horse, a doll is put to bed. Thinking relies on what the eye sees: pour juice into a tall, narrow glass and a child may say there is more now; it is also still hard to imagine how things look from someone else's place.
How to help: join in pretend play and offer simple props such as boxes, scarves and cups; instead of correcting, check together: “Where do you think there's more? Let's pour it back and see.”
Concrete operations: logic with real things
Your child now understands that pouring juice into another glass does not change the amount, and can sort things into groups, line them up from smallest to largest and measure. Logic works best with things they can see and touch; purely verbal problems are still harder, and progress is uneven from topic to topic.
How to help: cook, build and measure together, play chess, backgammon and other games with rules, and show tricky maths with objects or drawings; ask how they got an answer and let them check it by working backwards.
Formal operations: hypotheses and abstract ideas
Teenagers can think through possibilities (“What if…?”), form hypotheses and test them in their heads, and reflect on things they cannot see or touch, such as justice, freedom or the future. This develops gradually, and many adults, too, use it mainly in fields they know well.
How to help: discuss ideas and “what if” questions as equals, ask “How do you know?”, let your teenager plan small experiments and projects themselves, and treat a respectful argument as practice in thinking, not as disobedience.

Questions from parents
Is this an IQ test?
No. We describe a child's preferences and strengths, not an “intelligence level.” Our questionnaires are designed for getting to know the child and for conversation; they are not a psychological or medical diagnosis.
From what age can it be used?
Our full set covers ages 3 to 18. For children aged 3–6, parents fill in the questionnaire and a specialist observes the child at play; from age 7, the child also answers simple questions.
Does the result determine a future career?
No. The result shows areas of interest and strength that are useful when choosing clubs, courses and ways of learning. A career depends on many factors — interests, values and opportunities.
What if the result is “low”?
There is no “low” in our profile. We show visible strengths and the areas that need more opportunity and experience. Intelligences grow.
How long does a full assessment take?
The short test on the site takes about 5 minutes. A full assessment with questionnaires, observation or an interview, and a written report usually takes 1–2 weeks.
Where is my child's data stored?
Data is collected only with your consent and stored encrypted on a protected server. Reports are available only in your account. We do not share them with third parties, including the school, without your written permission. You can download your data or delete your account together with all of it.
