Seventeen questions with one right answer each, then the Thinking Panel: three open puzzles with none. We look at what you already know and how your mind moves.
About GSP and this test. The GenWise Gifted Summer Program (GSP) is a summer program for curious students in Grades 5 to 11. We use this assessment to get to know each child before we speak to the family. A GenWise educator reads the answers, and what we learn helps us suggest the right class for your child.
A quick note: this is not a test of giftedness, and we do not claim to measure it. It is only a way to understand a student's curiosity and how ready they are to join an academic class at the GenWise Gifted Summer Program.

Thinking Panel: 3 open puzzles a different time for each part
There is no going back once you start. Find a quiet place, keep the device charged, and plan to finish in one go. A GenWise educator reviews every response.
You are on a phone. This test is much easier on a laptop or computer: it has typed answers and takes about 35 minutes in one go.
Send yourself the link and open it there when your child is ready. If there is no laptop at home, the test also works on this phone.
Step 1 of 2
Register your child
For a parent or guardian to fill in once. When it is done, hand the device to your child.
Your consent
Your child is a minor, so we ask you, their parent or guardian, to agree to the following.
We keep your child's full name, school, city, grade, board and answers, and your name, phone number and email.
A GenWise educator checks your child's answers, and we will get back to you soon. We use your phone and email to contact you about this test and to tell you about GenWise programmes.
We record which link or website brought you to this page, so we know how families find the test. It is kept with your child's result, not shared.
While the test is open, we record only whether the test screen is left and whether text is pasted, to check the test was taken fairly. There is no camera, microphone or screen recording.
We never publish your child's name or answers, and we never sell or share your details with anyone else.
You can ask us to delete all of it at any time. Just reply to any message from us.
Step 2 of 2
The rules
Answer on your own. No help from anyone, and no looking things up.
Each question has a countdown. When it reaches zero, your answer is saved and the next question appears.
Stay on this screen. Leaving it for another app, tab or window is recorded. The first two times are warnings, from the third time it is marked for review, and on the fifth time the test is submitted with the answers you have given.
If you are unsure, write what you think. The open puzzles have no single right answer.
Warm-up · not marked
One practice question
This one does not count and has no clock. It shows you how the questions work.
What comes next: Monday, Wednesday, Friday, ___ ?
ASaturday
BSunday
CMonday
DTuesday
In the test, a clock counts down above each question. When it reaches zero, your answer is saved and the next question appears. Some questions ask you to type a short answer instead of choosing.
The clock for question 1 starts when you tap the button below.
Thinking Panel
The last three puzzles
This is the Thinking Panel. It has three open puzzles with no single right answer. We want to see how you think, not what you already know.
A few tips
More different ideas are better than one long answer.
Spelling and English do not matter. Short points are fine.
A guess is better than a blank. Next only works once you have written something.
When time is up, the next part starts by itself. You can also tap Next to move on sooner. You cannot go back.
An example first (not one of your puzzles)
A school canteen sells out of samosas every Monday, but on Fridays half of them are left over. Why might that be?
A weak answer: children are hungrier on Mondays.
A strong answer: several different reasons, each with a way to check it.
The canteen makes fewer samosas on Mondays. Check its order book.
There is a games period before lunch on Mondays. Check the timetable.
On Fridays many children bring food from home or leave early. Ask one class.
The Friday menu has something children like more. Look at the menu.
One idea is a start. Four different ideas, and how you would find out which is true, is what we look for.
The clock for Part 1 starts when you tap the button below.
All done
