Which test is used to measure intelligence is different.

Since the intelligence quotient as such is not a generally valid measure, but only reflects the current state of intelligence in relation to a particular test procedure, it must be noted in such a report which procedures were used. Since there are many different procedures for determining the intelligence quotient and thus for measuring intelligence and the individual’s state of development, only a few test procedures will be discussed here as examples. On the one hand, this is due to the quite frequent use of HAWIK (Hamburger Wechsler Intelligenztest für Kinder), the CFT (Culture Fair Intelligence Test) and the Munich High Giftedness Battery, which tries to consider the different aspects according to the giftedness model according to Heller and Hany (see above) in a special way.

The HAWIK tests via various subtests, such as picture completion, general knowledge, computational thinking etc. the practical, verbal and general intelligence. The CFT measures a child’s individual ability to recognize rules and identify certain characteristics.

It also measures the extent to which the child is capable of non-verbal problem recognition and solution. The test consists of five different subtests. One test procedure, which already includes a teacher survey in the form of a checklist, is the Munich High Graft Battery by Heller and Perleth, which is currently still in development.

Based on the Munich Giftedness Model, the individual aspects which are essential for the training of special talents are integrated into the examination. Thus, in addition to the general aspects relating to the child’s cognitive abilities, the study also addresses the question of social competence, motivation, personal interests and the prevailing school and family climate. This test procedure will initially be available in two different editions: as MHBT for elementary school and as MHBT for secondary school.
