Reports the validities and reliabilities of two short forms of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (Revised) (Vocabulary and Block Design, and Arithmetic and Picture Arrangement) for each of nine age groups, together with standard errors of estimate and measurement. Results support the use of these forms for their intended purpose. (BH)

Rescored Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (Revised) protocols from 81 normal adults using the Satz Mogel short form procedure. Low correlations between the short forms and full protocols suggest the Satz Mogel procedure can serve only as a gross screening test with normal adults. (JAC)

Full scale IQ (FSIQ) scores, followed by verbal (VIQ) and performance (PIQ) IQ scores, demonstrated the highest comparability between WAIS-R and its seven subtest form when tested with 1,880 subjects from the standardization sample. Correlations between versions were consistently lower for PIQ than FSIQ and VIQ. Age grouping did not affect…

Investigated validity of two- and four-subtest combinations as estimates of Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) Full Scale IQ among clients of low IQ (N=100). Concluded that the four-subtest form was superior as a screening device when complete administration of the WAIS-R is not feasible. (NRB)
