The document lists school-district administered tests such as CogAT, Differential Ability Scales, Otis-Lennon and Otis-Gamma, Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Tests (NNAT/NNAT2) including individual and multilevel forms, Stanford-Binet variants, and Woodcock-Johnson cognitive batteries. It also covers private-psychologist administered options including CTMM and relevant Cattell and Wechsler scales while rejecting certain derived scores such as GAI and short forms. It specifies IQ thresholds (commonly 130+) and includes rules for ACT composite usage with effective dates and composite-score requirements.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/","Exam",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/mensa-qualifying-criteria-cognitive-ability-tests-exam-preparation/503278/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/mensa-qualifying-criteria-cognitive-ability-tests-exam-preparation/503278.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"nayy☆","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-10","2026-10-03",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",11,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"Which cognitive tests are commonly accepted when administered by school districts?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"Accepted school-district tests include CogAT, Differential Ability Scales (DAS), Otis-Lennon and Otis-Gamma tests, NNAT/NNAT2, Stanford-Binet (including Stanford-Binet 5), and specified Woodcock-Johnson cognitive batteries, along with composite IQ criteria such as 132.","Answer",{"name":66,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":67},"What tests are accepted when administered by private psychologists?",{"text":68,"@type":64},"Accepted private-psychologist options listed include California Test of Mental Maturity (CTMM), Cattell, Reynolds Intellectual Assessment Scales, Stanford-Binet, and Wechsler scales (WAIS/WAIS-R/WISC/WISC-R/WISC-III/WISC-4th Edition/WPPSI).",{"name":70,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":71},"Are GAI and Shortform scores accepted, and what are the ACT composite rules?",{"text":72,"@type":64},"GAI (General Ability Index) and Shortform are not accepted.
