BMI (Body Mass Index) is an appropriate measure to determine whether a child is overweight. It is calculated by dividing the child's weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters. A BMI value above the 85th percentile is considered overweight for a child of a specific age and gender. MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory), WISC (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children), and WAIS (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale) are measures used to assess personality traits and intelligence, respectively, and are not useful for determining a child's weight status.
