Can Wechsler intelligence test be used to test parents on their abilities to look after their children and how do they come to the conclusion that your parenting skills pass this test?

Answer 1

Yes, this test along with a psychiatric tests was administered to me concerning my capacity to parent my 13 year old, who is currently is foster care. On January 7,2008, my parents took me to court after evicting me from my home (mortgage-my name; deed-their name....stupid of me to do this) to get custody of my daughter. I was served the papers on December 26,2007, and had to obtain an attorney by January 7,2008. The family court judge ordered my parents a 6 weeks temporary custody. Meanwhile, my daughter runs away. Then, she overdoses and after an investigation it was determined that my daughter had been allegedly sexually abused by the grandfather and physically abused by the grandmother. I was ordered to take parenting classes (after all I was a teacher until I became disabled). I had to take conflict resolution. I was ordered to go to counseling and to a psychiatrist, etc, etc.

In other words, I was given this test to determine if parenting skills were sufficient. However, I was battling money, and I am, of course, on a fixed income. The price that I paid was $500 for the administration of this test.
