Used multiple regression analysis to derive a short form for the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised in a sample of 300 children receiving treatment and/or evaluation at a university-affiliated community mental health center. Results yielded several four- and five-subtest predictive equations with demonstrable predictive validity.…

Developed and tested a short form of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) in 107 subjects. Results showed that when statistical corrections are made for item overlap between the two forms, the resulting correlation drops to .90 and that similar results were obtained in a cross-validation study. (LLL)

Investigated robustness of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) factor structure. Comparisons of the loadings obtained with generalization sample and 10 1/2-year-old national standardization sample suggest high degree of similarity in composition, magnitude, and pattern. Findings highly support robustness of WISC-R's…

Used psychiatric, neurological, psychiatric/neurological, and normal subjects to evaluate the relations between the Wonderlic and the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale in each sample. Found close relations in all cases, suggesting the value of additional attention to the Wonderlic Personnel Test as a brief measure of intelligence. (ASuthor/KS)

Assesses proposed new demographic information formulas for estimating premorbid Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scales-Revised Intelligence Quotient scores. Investigated cross-validation of this index on a neurologically normal but clinically relevant criterion group and determined the neuropsychological utility of the formulas to discriminate between…

The purpose of the study was to determine whether WPPSI is a valid and reliable instrument for the measurement of the intelligence of children whose scores fall within the upper range as measured by the Stanford-Binet. The results of this study indicated that there was only a moderate relationship between the two. (Author)

Compared regression lines for prediction of Wide Range Achievement Test scores by Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children and revised WISC Full Scale IQs across race. Results support the use of a common regression line in the prediction of achievement scores for races. (Author)

Cross-validated the effectiveness of the Satz-Mogel short form of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale controlling for the influence of age, racial-ethnic group, and IQ range. Results suggest that age and racial-ethnic group do not affect the short-form validity but that IQ range does. (Author)

A system was designed and constructed capable of totally automating the administration of several psychological tests and treatment procedures. It is described here. (Author)

Investigated the validity of the Luria-Nebraska Intellectual Processes Scale (IPS) as a substitute for the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS). IPS scores were correlated with the three WAIS IQs, and regression equations were computed to obtain estimated Verbal IQ, Performance IQ, and Full Scale IQ. (Author)

Assessed the validity of short forms that reduce the number of items within subtests rather than the number of subtests. Used data from the standardization samples for the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence, WISC-Revised, and WAIS-Revised. (Author)

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)

Navy enlisted personnel (N=60) were administered the Recall scale of the Kahn Intelligence Test (Experimental Form; KIT) and the Digit Span subtest of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS). Scores for the KIT tasks indicate a significant transfer of data to long-term memory. (Author)

The validity of the Verbal IQ as a short form of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) was investigated using the criteria proposed by Resnick and Entin. The WAIS was administered to 100 psychiatric patients. There was no significant difference between the means of the Verbal and Full Scale IQs. (Author)
