	Human Intelligence: David Wechsler
		David Wechsler is best known for developing several widely-used intelligence tests, including the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (Wechsler, 1949) and the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (Wechsler, 1955).
		Wechsler is also notable for his use of the deviation quotient (DQ), a technical innovation that replaced the use of mental ages in computing IQ scores.
		Later Wechsler became an individual psychological examiner, and was charged with administering the Stanford-Binet to recruits who had performed poorly on the group intelligence tests (Fancher, 1985).

		Wechsler provided Alan with an informal apprenticeship in the art of clinical assessment and Dr. Wesman introduced him to the concept of "intelligent testing;" the teachings of both mentors formed the basis of Alan’s psychometric/clinical approach to the interpretation of intelligence tests.
		She found the Wechsler scales limited in their usefulness for making these educational translations, and experienced a great need for theory-based instruments designed with educational applications in mind.
		Be flexible in your choices because assessment is done for many reasons, and these reasons differ by setting, age group, and cultural or subcultural group; no one theory or model is necessarily the right one, nor is your favorite approach necessarily pertinent to the test development challenge you may be facing.
