Abstract
This chapter evaluates the elements of science and art as well as draws upon the formal and informal assessment methods. It reviews the essential qualities that may emphasize a child's test's performance and discusses all those qualities found through research to have a measurable influence on the performance. At the same time, several measures frequently used to record children's test performance are also discussed in the chapter. Usually, examiners are responsible for ensuring that the testing room provides a comfortable and distraction-free testing environment. Furniture should be of proper height and comfortable to children. Besides, the chapter discusses the reasons for examiners reliance on informal observations and information from different interviews with prior test data in forming judgments of children's language abilities. Relationships between measures of test-taking behaviors and performance on different measures other than the WISC-III are of great importance. The chapter concludes that the assets and limitations of test behaviors for understanding of non cognitive qualities require further study and research.
