Wechsler Adult Intelligence

The accuracy of different subtest combinations in predicting Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale IQ, scores on the revised edition of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-R) was examined. A best subset multiple regression technique with sample sizes ranging from 1,062 to 1,084 individuals was used. All possible subtest combinations were analyzed to determine the ones that showed the three best and the single worst multiple Rs with IQ scores from the complete WAIS-R. All short forms provided accurate estimates of Full Scale scores, and predictive accuracy increased slightly as more subtests were used. The data suggest that statistically searching for a “best” short form is largely futile. Short forms should be selected on the basis of their efficiency to provide the information required.

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.

Repeat Assessment

The present study attempted to ascertain the best estimate of true Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) Full Scale IQ (FSIQ) when confronted with an individual who recently had been administered the WAIS-R. Sixty-five college undergraduate participants were administered the WAIS-R twice within 14 days. WAIS-R summary scores, factor scores, and short-form estimates obtained from the second assessment were compared to FSIQ at the first evaluation. The results indicated that Verbal IQ, the Verbal Comprehension factor score, and subtracting 6 points from the current FSIQ are the least affected by repeat assessment and the most accurate estimates of FSIQ at the first evaluation. Use of these estimates of FSIQ are encouraged when evaluating an individual who has been administered the WAIS-R in the recent past.

Wechsler Adult Intelligence

Abbreviated forms of the revised edition of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-R) attempt to shorten the administration time of the test without adversely affecting the results. Seven different short forms of the WAIS-R were compared in a mixed clinical sample to evaluate short form predictions of Full Scale IQ (FSIQ). Correlation coefficients for each short form indicate that Ward's seven-subtest short form predicts IQ scores most closely to FSIQ scores across ranges of intellectual functioning. In this sample, 96% of the patients obtained FSIQ scores within 5 points of their actual FSIQ when using this short form. Two tetrad short forms yielded scores that were close to actual FSIQ scores, however to a lesser degree. These results are consistent with other studies using Ward's seven-subtest short form, and, therefore, suggest that this particular version is a reliable and valid substitute for a full WAIS-R when time is limited.

Wechsler Adult Intelligence

Concurrent validity of a seven-subtest short form (7SF) of the revised edition of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-R) was examined in 733 cognitively normal adults between 56 and 99 years of age who participated in Mayo's Older Americans Normative Studies (MOANS). Pearson correlation coefficients between actual and prorated MAYO Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale IQ scores ranged from r =. 93 to r =. 97. Actual and prorated FSIQ scores differed by 6 points or less for 98% of participants, and the observed deviations did not vary as a function of age. These results support the use of this WAIS-R short form to prorate MAYO IQ scores for older adults.

Wechsler Adult Intelligence

We examined cognitive deficits in problematic drinkers with and without mild to borderline intellectual disability (MBID). Problematic drinkers were expected to show a significantly lower estimated performance IQ (PIQ), but not a lower estimated verbal IQ (VIQ), compared to light drinkers. Participants ( N = 474) were divided into four groups based on IQ and severity of alcohol use-related problems. IQ was estimated using (a short form of) the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale third edition. Severity of alcohol use-related problems was assessed using the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test. Overall, there were no significant differences between light and problematic drinkers on estimated VIQ. Within the group without MBID, estimated PIQ was significantly lower. Estimated PIQ was not lower in problematic drinkers with MBID compared to light drinkers with MBID. The results are indicative of cognitive deficits in problematic drinkers without MBID. Screening for cognitive deficits with additional instruments is advised.

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.
