Please read this page very carefully and check the boxes below to acknowledge that you understand it. If someone else is paying for your testing, please have them read it as well.
The AIMS staff needs your complete cooperation to obtain accurate test scores. You should not participate in the program unless you are actively motivated to do so. A negative attitude towards the testing will render the test scores inaccurate and make it difficult for our staff to provide useful recommendations. We strongly urge parents not to send their children to AIMS if they are not motivated to participate in the program.
Aptitudes seem to behave as physical traits. The test scores stabilize during puberty; consequently, we suggest that youngsters be well into puberty before taking our tests. Unless approved by a staff member the minimum ages are 15 for girls and 16 for boys. Students who are taking the AIMS testing program need to be college-bound. Individuals who are interested in careers that require a minimum of a bachelor’s degree are most likely to benefit from the AIMS program.
If you have a minor learning disability or problem, we recommend that you postpone testing until you are at least seventeen years old. If you have completed diagnostic testing for a learning difference or disability, please supply AIMS with the results and information about any subsequent remediation.
The AIMS program may not be effective for individuals with any of the following conditions: auditory processing disorder, visual processing disorder, ADHD, dyslexia, an I.Q. score below 100, or mental illness. If the applicant has any of the conditions listed above, you must contact AIMS to determine if the testing is appropriate.
If there are other conditions that could limit the applicant’s ability to complete the battery of timed tests, please discuss these with an AIMS advisor before you schedule your appointments.
The AIMS program may not be effective for individuals with any of the following conditions: persons taking central-nervous-system-affecting drugs, such as Lithium, Zoloft, Prozac, Deseryl, Paxil, Ritalin, Adderal, Librium, Dilantin, Concerta, Effexor, Wellbutrin, Elavil, Phenobarbital, or tranquilizers. AIMS may not be appropriate for stroke victims, epileptics, persons with chronic or recent injuries or disabilities that would negatively affect mobility, dexterity, strength, or paper-and-pencil speed; persons with hearing-loss, vision-loss, or those recovering from alcoholism or drug abuse; persons whose first language is not English; persons undergoing strong emotional stress related to a divorce, death, or job loss; or any condition that would keep the individual from performing a normal job. If you use any of these or similar medications or have a disability that may hinder your ability to take our tests, please discuss your situation with an AIMS advisor before you schedule your appointments.
Please let us know if there will be any young children coming with you for any of your appointments. There are no day care facilities in our building and loud noises can distract our clients. In consideration of our other clients, cell phones, music players, and other electronic devices that create sound are not permitted for use in the AIMS office, including the waiting area.
Please arrange your schedule so that you arrive for testing, well-rested and alert. It is not advisable to do the program when you are sick or weak from a recent illness.
Parents, guardians, or financial sponsors are strongly encouraged to attend the final conference for any client for whom they are paying the fee.
