Evaluated the ability of the Wonderlic Personnel Test to replicate the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) with (N=120) normal persons divided into principal and cross-validation groups. Correlations between the Wonderlic IQs and the WAIS Full Scale IQs were .93 for the main group and .91 for the cross-validation group. (Author)

This is the preliminary report of a new memory scoring method. Using the Wechsler Memory Scale as its base, it scores lateralized verbal and figural memory and long- and short-term memory. Six independent memory scales were developed. Studies of 105 subjects demonstrate that these scales are reliable and valid. (Author)

The development and evaluation of an interactive computer-based administration and scoring program for the Slosson Intelligence Test (SIT) is discussed. A computer program successfully developed for administering and scoring the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale is cited to support the feasibility of developing this proposed SIT program. Testing,…
