🧠
Broadest CHC Coverage Available — The WJ COG V measures all 7 broad CHC abilities: Gc, Gf, Gwm, Gs, Ga, Glr, and Gv. Ages 2–90+. Enter the General Intellectual Ability (GIA) or Brief Intellectual Ability (BIA) composite plus at least one CHC cluster. All scores are standard scores (mean = 100, SD = 15). Classification follows Schrank, McGrew & Mather (2014): Very Superior (131+), Superior (121–130), High Average (111–120), Average (90–110), Low Average (80–89), Low (70–79), Very Low (≤69).
Student Information
Used in the narrative report
Global Composites — at least one required
Standard scores (mean = 100, SD = 15). The GIA is the primary global composite, derived from all 7 CHC clusters. The BIA is a brief estimate from a subset of tests. Enter at least one.
Global Composite
General Intellectual Ability (GIA)
Primary Global Estimate
Broad composite across all 7 CHC cluster scores — the most comprehensive single estimate of overall cognitive ability
Brief Composite
Brief Intellectual Ability (BIA)
Short-Form Global Estimate
Brief global cognitive estimate from a subset of tests — enter if administered instead of or alongside the GIA
CHC Broad Ability Cluster Scores — at least one required
Standard scores (mean = 100, SD = 15). Enter all administered CHC cluster scores. Leave unscored clusters blank. The WJ COG V measures more broad CHC abilities than any other cognitive battery.

Working Memory Capacity
Hold and manipulate information in immediate memory
Gs
Cognitive Processing Speed
Processing Speed
