Wechsler adult intelligence scale
From Psy3241
David Weschler created intelligence tests available to assess a wide range of ages. The first test, called the 'Weschler-Bellevue Intelligence Scale, was developed in 1939. It was replaced in 1955 and renamed the Weschler Adult Intelligence Scale. Again, another revision occurred in 1981 resulting in the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised. WAIS-R is the most standard assessment for measuring intellectual functioning (IQ). Its subtests include: Information, Picture completion, Digit Span, Picture arrangement, Vocabulary, Block design, Arithmetic, Object assembly, Comprehension, Digit symbol, and Similarities.
A subsequent revision occurred in 1997 in the United States and only slightly revised it from its original form. This version is known as the WAIS-3rd edition or WAIS-III.
