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)

Peer reviewedEvans, Ronald G. – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1985
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)

Peer reviewedHaynes, Jack P. – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1985
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)
