IQ, Memory & Giftedness
Know your brain, own your future.
Invictus Health’s IQ and memory assessments give you a clear, compassionate and scientifically grounded picture of how your brain is working so you can make informed decisions about study, work, health and life.
What these assessments reveal
Intelligence testing
IQ assessments measure cognitive abilities across multiple domains including reasoning, processing speed, working memory and problem-solving. Results are interpreted in context — not just a number, but a detailed picture of your strengths, challenges and thinking style — providing meaningful guidance for school, work, NDIS applications or simply understanding yourself better.
Memory evaluation
Memory assessments identify how well you encode, retain and recall information across different types of memory. Whether you’re noticing lapses after an injury or illness, concerned about ageing, or seeking a baseline for future comparison, our neuropsychologists provide clear answers and practical strategies.
Giftedness identification
Giftedness assessments identify exceptional cognitive ability in children, adolescents and adults. Results can support placement in selective schools or enrichment programs, help explain social or emotional differences that often accompany high ability, and provide evidence for appropriate educational adjustments and support plans.
This is for you if
Curious about your memory or thinking skills
Noticing memory lapses, brain fog or changes in thinking after injury, illness, stress or ageing.
Suspected giftedness
Wondering about exceptional ability, suitability for selective schools or enrichment programs.
Want to understand cognitive strengths
Seeking clarity on how you process information, learn, remember and solve problems so you can excel in your career or daily life.
Tracking brain health over time
Establishing a baseline for future comparison, or monitoring changes after injury or illness over time.

Assessment details
How it works
Assessment Process
While each assessment is individualised, most follow three key steps:
Step 1: History and goals
A detailed conversation about your concerns, background, education, medical history and daily functioning, so the assessment targets what matters to you.
Step 2: Testing sessions
Standardised, evidence-based tests of IQ, memory and other cognitive skills, paced with breaks and explained in plain language as you go. These may be completed in one longer session or split over multiple shorter visits depending on fatigue and accessibility needs.
Step 3: Report and feedback
A comprehensive, easy-to-read report summarising results, any diagnoses (where appropriate), and concrete recommendations for study, work, daily life and supports – followed by a feedback session to walk through the findings and next steps.
Assessments are suitable for adolescents through to older adults, and can be arranged in-person or via a blended telehealth model where clinically appropriate.
How it works
Report turnaround
Following your assessment, you’ll receive a comprehensive, easy-to-read report summarising your results with 2-3 weeks.
Your personalised report will include any diagnoses where applicable, and concrete recommendations for study, work, daily life and supports.
A dedicated feedback session is included to walk through the findings with your clinician. Reports are suitable for NDIS applications, medico-legal use, rehabilitation planning, workplace accommodations and educational settings.
How it works
Medication
If you currently take medication for ADHD, anxiety, or any related condition, please let our team know when booking.
In some cases your clinician may recommend attending unmedicated to ensure the most accurate picture of baseline cognitive functioning.
We’ll discuss what’s right for you well in advance so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
How it works
Post-assessment support
Following your assessment, your neuropsychologist will provide tailored strategies to support learning, organisation, memory, concentration and decision-making.
If further medical, psychological or educational follow-up is recommended, we’ll guide you toward the right next steps.
If ongoing reviews are needed, Invictus can compare results over time to track progress.

Why choose Invictus for my assessment?
Many clinics can administer tests; Invictus focuses on understanding you as a whole person. Several strengths set our service apart:
- Diverse, intersectional team – neuropsychologists and clinicians who are migrants and/or LGBTIQA+ and/or neurodivergent and/or have lived experience of mental health and disability, bringing rich perspective and genuine empathy to your assessment.
- Highly skilled specialists – advanced training in neuropsychology, brain injury, neurodegenerative conditions, learning profiles and complex presentations, with experience across health, education, NDIS and legal systems.
- Friendly, person-centred care – down-to-earth clinicians who explain each step, check in on how you are feeling, and adapt the pace so you are not overwhelmed or rushed.
- Neuroaffirming and trauma-informed – respect for different brains, identities and histories, with options for breaks, support people in the room, and clear consent around what is assessed and why.
- Reports that people actually use – clear language, practical strategies and specific recommendations for schools, universities, workplaces, NDIS planners, legal teams and treating clinicians.
- Integrated follow-up options – access to neuropsychological intervention, counselling and ongoing support if you want help implementing strategies or monitoring changes over time.
People often describe feeling validated and relieved to finally see their strengths and challenges mapped out in a way that makes sense – especially if they have been misunderstood or dismissed in the past.
What happens after my assessment?
After your IQ and memory assessment at Invictus, you can expect:
