Directory professionals who support giftedness

220 profiles in 111 cities

Wondering about giftedness, for yourself or for your child? Here are the psychologists, neuropsychologists and psychiatrists in the directory who say they support gifted people, sorted by city. Most of them work in France; some offer online sessions.

Giftedness is identified through a psychometric assessment, most often a Wechsler scale (WAIS for adults, WISC for children), carried out by a psychologist together with an interview. The score does not tell the whole story: a good assessment also looks at your history, any difficulties you face and what brings you to consult. Giftedness is not an illness, and many professionals speak of identification rather than diagnosis.

Atypikoo does not diagnose and does not check practitioners’ clinical skills: the areas listed on each profile are self-reported. Before committing, ask the practitioner which assessment they offer, how long it takes and what it costs.

Frequently asked questions

Who can give an IQ test?
In France, the Wechsler scales (WAIS, WISC) are restricted to psychologists. An assessment usually includes the test itself, scoring, an interview and a written report.
Is a giftedness assessment reimbursed?
In private practice, a psychometric assessment is not reimbursed by French national health insurance; some complementary insurers cover part of it. Fees vary with the practitioner and the content of the assessment: those who have filled them in show them on their profile.
Are the professionals listed here giftedness specialists?
They say they support gifted people. Atypikoo issues no certification and does not check clinical skills: ask the practitioner about their experience and the assessment they offer when you first get in touch.
