	Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale or WAIS is a general test of intelligence (IQ), published in February 1955 as a revision of the Wechsler-Bellevue test (1939), standardised for use with adults over the age of 16.
		Intelligence is quantified as the global capacity of the individual to act purposefully, to think rationally, and to deal effectively with his environment.
		For persons under 16, the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC, 7-16 yrs) and the Wechsler Pre-school and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI, 3-7 yrs) are used.

	WISC III - IQ Test - Identification of gifted children - NSWAGTC
		Scale scores (Verbal and Performance IQ scores) are the summary measures of verbal and performance skills, and the Full Scale IQ is an index of general intellectual functioning.
		Scale, factor, and subtest scores show strengths and weaknesses when compared to other young people of the same age or to the student's own pattern of development.
		The Wechsler tests form one part of an assessment, and other measures may include an early developmental history, formal and informal observation of the child, academic skills testing, measures of personality, emotional and social development, examination of the child's creative and school interests and so on.

		The average reliability coefficients range from.77 to.86 (Mdn =.80) for the Verbal Scale subtests and from.70 to.85 (Mdn =.72) for the Performance Scale subtests.
		In a study in which 5 to 6-year-old middle-class children were administered both tests, with a one-year test-retest interval, the WISC-R yielded IQS that were 5 points lower on the average than those of the WPPSI.
		Norms: The WISC-R was standardized on a sample of 2,200 American children selected as representative of the population on the basis of the 1970 U.S. Census.

		The Wechsler Intelligence Scales for Children (regular, revised, and third edition) and Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence are used as tools in school placement, in determining the presence of a learning disability or a developmental delay, in identifying giftedness, and in tracking intellectual development.
		The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scales (regular and revised) are used to determine vocational ability, to assess adult intellectual ability in the classroom, and to determine organic deficits.
		The Wechsler Intelligence Scales are standardized tests, meaning that as part of the test design, they were administered to a large representative sample of the target population, and norms were determined from the results.

		Children (six to fifteen years) were identified to be gifted by achieving an IQ score of 125 or greater on either the verbal, performance or full scales of the WISC-III.
		Younger children (about 6- 10 years), and children with larger verbal-performance discrepancy scores (with verbal dominance) were significantly more likely to experience an increase in score on the SBLM relative to the WISC-III than older children, or children with lower verbal-performance discrepancy scores.
		Children are most likely to experience an increase in score on the SBLM, compared with their WISC-III Full Scale IQ score, when they are younger, and also when they display stronger verbal than nonverbal skills, as indicated by their verbal-performance discrepancy score on the WISC-III.

	Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS)
		David Wechsler designed intelligence tests made up of items that are appropriate for a wide range of ages.
		Wechsler suggests that if there is more than 15 IQ points difference between the two main scales then this might be cause for further investigation.
		Although scaled scores for each of the 11 subtests are obtained using a single table based on the reference group, IQs are derived separately for each of the age groups (there are nine e.g.

	David Wechsler (www.whonamedit.com)
		Wechsler studied at the City College of New York and Columbia University, where he obtained his MA in 1917, Ph.D. in 1925 under Robert S. Woodworth.
		In 1955 he developed another intelligence test for adults, the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS), with the same structure as his previous scale, but standardised against different population groups, including 10 non-white, to mirror the population as a whole.
		Wechsler’s last intelligence test, Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence, was published in 1967 as an adaptation of the children’s scale intended for very young children.

		One of the most widely used is the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, more commonly know as the WISC. This test may also be called the WISC-R, where R stands for Revised.
		The WISC family of tests consists of two sub-tests, a verbal test which assess the child's ability by testing what he/she can say about things, and a performance test which assess the child's ability in visual and manual tasks that require no speaking.
		Each subtest delivers a scaled score, which is a score adjusted for the child's age and may range from 1 (lowest) to 19 (highest).

	Human Intelligence: David Wechsler
		Wechsler's definition of intelligence as "the global capacity to act purposefully, to think rationally, and to deal effectively with his environment" included the idea that intelligence is not a single capacity but a multifaceted aggregate.
		Wechsler believed the subtests were collectively capable of yielding important clinical insights that could be used for differential diagnosis as well as measuring a broad range of psychological functioning.
		In order to determine a meaningful representation of adult intelligence, Wechsler introduced the Deviation Quotient, an IQ computed by considering the individual's mental ability in comparison with the average individual of his or her own age.

		Wechsler constructed the WBIS based on his observation that, at the time, existing intelligence tests for adults were merely adaptations of tests for children and had little face validity for older age groups.
		The notion of multidimensional intelligence is certainly not new in cognitive psychology; in the 1920s, Thurstone and Spearman viewed intelligence as consisting of several components.
		Scale scores in the Verbal battery are summed and converted to a Verbal IQ score; the same is done for the Performance scale scores which yield the Performance IQ score.

		FS-IQ reflects a combination of the V and P scales; all three IQs are normed to have a mean equal to 100 and standard deviation equal to 15.
		Gains on the DAS Special Nonverbal Scale (similar to P) averaged 7 points, compared with 4-point verbal ability (similar to V) gains for school-age children; at the preschool level, practice effects were 4 points on nonverbal ability and 1 to 2 points on verbal ability.
		The Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised (WMS-R) includes measures of verbal memory (retelling stories that are read aloud by the examiner, learning eight verbal word pairs) and visual memory (recognizing and recalling abstract designs that are exposed briefly, learning six pairs of visual stimuli).

		The Wechsler scales have dominated the field of intelligence testing for at least 50 years and they continue to be the most widely used IQ tests (Wilson and Reschly, 1996).
		Actually, Wechsler’s tests are considerably older because he adopted many of the methods used by the U.S. military in the early part of the 1900s which are described in the book Army Mental Testing (Yoakum and Yerkes, 1920).

	Emotional Intelligence and the Impacts of Morality
		ROBERT P. Classical intelligence, as measured by ordinary IQ tests, is often called "test intelligence." Currently, the gold standard for measuring intellectual capacity in adults or children is the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-III for adults or the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-III.
		Children at this level are now able to understand distress beyond the immediate social situation and to see that a person's condition or station in life may be a source of chronic distress.
		It should seem obvious by looking at the elements of test intelligence that we would be much more happy and much more successful as individuals and as a society if we were more alert to the importance of emotional intelligence and better at teaching it to our children.

		He was dissatisfied with the existing tests of intelligence which had often been created to measure scholastic/academic potential, were directed toward children, and tended to be highly verbal in the type of intelligence they measured.
		Wechsler, therefore, decided to construct an adult-focused test of intelligence which would not be oriented toward the more academic standards implicit in successor exams to Binet's original and would use stardandarized scores.
		He believed intelligence was demonstrated in a person's ability (1) to act purposefully, (2) think logically, and (3) interact-cope successfully with the environment.
