Wechsler Adult Intelligence

A woman was admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Feeling increasingly depressed she had made a suicidal attempt. Besides somatic complaints, she related friction with her husband. The latter reported her as being inadequate at coping with their children, with general domestic chores or with entertaining his business friends. The woman's full scale I.Q. on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale was found to be 73, in the borderline subnormal range.

The WAIS, the original edition of the Ohio Literacy Test, and its auditory form were administered to 60 male psychiatric inpatients at the time of hospital admission. Correlations were .54 to .70. Tentative results suggest that this auditory form may have some merit as a quick estimator of WAIS Full Scale IQs.

Fluid And Crystallized Intelligence

This study investigates Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale IQ change in an institutionalized mentally retarded population. 402 individuals who had received two routine administrations of either the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children or the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale and who ranged in age from 11 to 44 were included as subjects. They were divided into six groups (two WISC and four WAIS) and changes in scores were studied using a semi-longitudinal methodology. Contrary to the dominant view suggested by previous research, Full Scale IQ did not decrease with age. There were, in fact, slight increments, larger and more consistent in Performance than Verbal IQ. This differential change is discussed in terms of the Horn-Cattell theory of “fluid” and “crystallized” intelligence.

Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test

The Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test detects learning problems of young students and is a screen for whether a more comprehensive test of intelligence is needed. A study to assess whether this test was valid as an adult intelligence test was conducted with 20 undergraduate psychology majors. The correlations between the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test's Composite, Vocabulary, and Matrices test scores and their corresponding Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Third Edition test scores, the Full Scale ( r = .88), Verbal ( r = .77), and Performance scores ( r = .87), indicated very strong relationships. In addition, no significant differences were obtained between the Composite, Vocabulary, and Matrices means of the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test and the Full Scale, Verbal, and Performance means of the WAIS–III. The Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test appears to be a valid test of intelligence for adults.

Wechsler Adult Intelligence

The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV) is an individually administered clinical instrument designed for assessment of intellectual abilities of adolescents and adults. The WAIS-IV consists of 15 subtests (10 core and 5 supplemental) reflecting the efficacy of cognitive functioning in four domains (verbal comprehension-VCI, perceptual reasoning-PRI, working memory-WMI, and processing speed-PSI), and general intellectual ability (Full-Scale IQ-FSIQ). The WAIS-IV was administered to a sample of 262 respondents ? specifically, 104 respondents from sample representative for the wider Belgrade area, 62 schizophrenic, 63 depressive, and 33 patients with intellectual disability. Psychometric properties of WAIS-IV subtests were analysed within the frameworks Item Response Theory (IRT) and Classical Test Theory (CTT). Results show that IRT reliability of subtests ranges from .86 (Comprehension and Picture Completion) to .95 (Cancellation), while the IRT reliability of the FSIQ is .94. Overall, all subtests discriminate participants well along the whole continuum of intellectual abilities. The WAIS-IV enables highly reliable assessment of intellectual abilities on Serbian population.

RESUMEN: El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo presentar una revisión teórica de las principales formas abreviadas que han sido desarrolladas por varios autores a partir de las distintas versiones de la Escala de inteligencia de Wechsler para adultos que han ido surgiendo a lo largo del tiempo. El desarrollo de formas cortas ha ido creciendo en paralelo a la aparición de las nuevas versiones de la escala completa. Una forma abreviada permite estimar la capacidad intelectual con un tiempo de administración menor, por lo que puede ser de gran utilidad si el objetivo de evaluación es obtener una medida general de la capacidad intelectual.Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale: Review of short formsABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to present a theoretical review of the main short forms that have been developed by several authors based on different versions of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale. The development of short forms has been growing parallel to the appearance of new versions of the full scale. A short form allows estimating the intellectual capacity of someone with less time of administration, which could be very useful if the assessment objective is to obtain an overall measure of intellectual capacity.

Wechsler Adult Intelligence

The Full Scale Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) and Quick Test (QT) Form 1 were administered to 45 Ss; their ages ranged from 16 to 56 yr. ( Mago = 17.81 yr.). The Full Scale WAIS MIQ was 68.24 ( SD = 21.55) and the MIQ on Form 1 of the QT was 58.84 ( SD = 22.14), which became 73.84 when corrected. QT IQs and raw scores yielded substantive and significant ( p = .001) correlations with all WAIS raw and scaled scores.

The Relationship

The present study examined the relationship between a short, self-administered test of vocabulary skill and the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale. The results showed that the self-administered vocabulary scale was significantly related to WAIS Full Scale and Verbal IQs and that it showed satisfactory reliability for addict patients. The scale appears useful as a brief intellectual screening device.
