Analyzed the intercorrelations among the 11 subtests of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) in the nine age groups in the normative sample. Results suggested that the factor structure underlying the WAIS-R is complex and that a large proportion of WAIS-R performance can be explained by a general intellectual factor. (LLL)

The present study compared diagnostic classification of the standard and an abbreviated form of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale using brain-damaged and psychiatric patients as subjects. Multivariate analysis of the results revealed a fair degree of similarity between the two forms of WAIS. (SE)

The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale was administered to 30 male criminally insane patients and 15 violent convicts. The latter had similar subtest score configurations and the mean similarities ratio score for the violent group was significantly lower than that of the nonviolent group. (Author/SE)

Scores from 94 psychiatric and neurological patients on the 11 subtests of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale and the Halstead-Reitan Category and Finger Tapping tests were used in a factor analysis. The Category Test is not particularly sensitive to all types of brain pathology. (Author)

Factor analyzed the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) across nine age groups in the standardization sample. When three- and four-factor analyses were performed, the familiar three-factor structure (Verbal Comprehension, Perceptual Organization, and Freedom From Distractibility) was clearly visible.
