40 patients at a psychiatric hospital were tested with the following tests of intelligence: Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS), Raven's Progressive Matrices (PM) and Forms A and B of the Full-Range Picture Vocabulary Test (FRPV). Regression analysis using the WAIS as the criterion and the other two tests as predictors indicated that either Form A or Form B of the FRPV predicted WAIS IQ but the PM did not.

The relationship between IQ scores on the Full-Range Picture Vocabulary Test (FRPV) of Amnions and Amnions and the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) was investigated using a random sample of clients at a hospital-based vocational rehabilitation center. As predicted, correlations of FRPV and WAIS were significant, but decreased in magnitude for WAIS Vocabulary subtest, Verbal IQ, Full-scale IQ, and Performance IQ scores. These data extend previous research in applying the FRPV to different populations and suggest that it can be usefully applied as a quick screening measure of intelligence with a heterogeneous rehabilitation clientele.

Clinicians owe a debt of gratitude to McCaffrey and his team for developing not just one (McCaffrey et al., 2000) but now a second set of tables providing an extensive compilation of test–retest data for tests commonly used in neuropsychological assessment. The newest Practitioner's Guide presents the retest findings for all four versions of the adult Wechsler Intelligence Scale [Wechsler-Bellevue, the original Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS), and its variants: WAIS–R, WAIS–III, WAIS–RNI], plus the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) with its variants (WISC–R, WISC–III) and the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence. For each of Wechsler's batteries this guide provides retest data for the scores in common use (e.g., IQ, VIQ, PIQ, each individual test, and WAIS–III index scores). In addition retest findings are given for the North American Reading Test, Raven's Progressive Matrices, Shipley-Hartford Institute of Living Scale, and for 13 Stanford-Binet studies (form L-M, judging from study dates; all but five are IQ scores).

The Satz-Mogel short form of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale was evaluated for use with older psychiatric inpatients. 57 older patients (— 55 yr.) and 50 younger patients (< 40 yr.) were administered the WAIS. The original WAIS was rescored according to the Satz-Mogel format. Pearson correlations between these two methods within each age group were high for each subtest as well as the Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale IQs. Analyses, however, detected significant differences within each age group on some of the Performance subtests. These findings suggest that the Satz-Mogel is an appropriate instrument for use with older psychiatric patients.

Objective Psychiatric patients sometimes show poor performance or exaggerated symptoms as malingering for secondary gain. The aim of this study was to introduce cut-off scores for detecting poor performance using Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) in psychiatric patients.Methods Participants were 261 in- and out-patients who visited psychiatry department. They were classified into 4 group- 1) military service, 2) traumatic brain injury (TBI), 3) psychosis, 4) neurosis. A Digit Span subtest (called as Reliable Digit Span, RDS) of WAIS was used to detect malingering. This study considered a score of 10% base rate as RDS cut-off score.Results The RDS cut-off score was shown at 7 pts for military service group, at 3 pts for TBI group, at 6 pts for psychosis group, and at 6 pts for neurosis group.Conclusion This study first introduced RDS cut-off scores for malingering psychiatric patients in South Korea. In clinical practice, clinicians may be able to utilize the RDS cut-off scores for malingering-suspected patients. In particular, for patients with military service issues, 7 or less pts of RDS can be used for detecting and inferring their malingering.

29 men (15 white, 14 black) who were inmates at a maximum security penitentiary were given the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale—Revised and the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test—Revised on which the full scale IQs correlated .80. This suggests the Peabody would serve as an effective screening test for this population.

The Quick Test, Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, and the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale were administered to 40 psychiatric inpatients. High correlations and minimal mean differences obtain among measures.
