An epigenetic clock is a biochemical test that can be used to measure age. The test is based on modifications that change over time and regulate how genes are expressed. Typically they can use DNA methylation levels, measuring the accumulation of methyl groups to one's DNA molecules, or more recently, based on the histone code.
The test results found that 40-year-old Khloe has the cellular age of a 28-year-old, while 43-year-old Kim has the biological age of a 34-year-old. “Never in a million years!” Khloé said.
The Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI) is an intelligence test designed for children ages 2 years 6 months to 7 years 7 months developed by David Wechsler in 1967.

The fluid is then tested for chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome (trisomy 21) and trisomy 18, which can result in neonatal or fetal death. Test results can be retrieved within 7–14 days after the test is done. This method is 99.4% accurate at detecting and diagnosing fetal chromosome abnormalities.
The test had become a scale, and the subtests were arranged from easiest to most difficult. The test also showed in detail the four to eight tasks that children should be able to perform at 11 different ages, ranging from 3 to 13. [3] [5] The test was constructed by giving the subtests to children of a specific (chronological) age group. If 75% ...

It is both a personality test, specifically projective test, and a cognitive test like IQ. The test subject uses simple art supplies to produce depictions of people.
The schedules for older children became the property of Gesell Institute of Child Development which was established in 1950. In 1964 Dr. Francis Ilg and Dr. Louise Bates Ames , the founders of the Gesell Institute, refined, revised, and collected data on children 5–10 years of age and subsequently in 1965, 1972, and 1979.
