Utility of the WAIS-R seven-subtest short form as applied to the standardization sample

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to examine summary scores from the full WAIS-R and the 7-subtest abbreviated form of the WAIS-R across age and education levels in the standardization sample. Full scale IQ (FSIQ) scores demonstrated the highest comparability between forms, followed by verbal IQ (VIQ) and then performance IQ (PIQ) scores. The findings support the use of the 7-subtest short form of WAIS-R for VIQ and FSIQ summary scores with the additional caution that results from abbreviated scores result in reduced reliability and a larger standard error of measure.
