Can everyday teachers administer the WISC-IV?

No, everyday teachers cannot administer the WISC-IV (or any other major intelligence test like the Stanford-Binet). Administering and interpreting these tests requires extensive training and certification.

Only licensed psychologists or other qualified professionals with specialized training in psychometrics can legally and ethically administer, score, and interpret the results of the WISC-IV. The test administration involves specific procedures, standardized instructions, and careful observation that require significant expertise to ensure accurate and valid results. Incorrect administration can lead to inaccurate assessments and potentially harmful consequences for the child.
