Test-retest evaluation of a four-subtest WAIS-R short form with young offenders

Article Abstract:

A study of incarcerated Caucasian and Native Canadian youths between age 16 to 18 was conducted to investigate the validity of a four-subtest short form (SF4) of the Wechsler adult intelligence scale-revised (WAIS-R). The results suggest that the SF4 yields a suitable estimate of the IQ measure produced by the full scale WAIS-R, when the SF4 is given in advance of the full test. Some IQ overestimation and miscalculation problems were observed when the SF4 test was given after the full WAIS-R.

Clinical utility of Kaufman's "amazingly" short forms of the WAIS-R with educable mentally retarded adolescents

Article Abstract:

Three short forms of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R), A.S. Kaufman's, A.B. Silverstein's, and C.R. Reynolds/V.L. Willson/P.L. Clark's, are evaluated to determine their coefficients of correlation with the complete WAIS-R. More than 110 mentally handicapped teenagers were given both the full WAIS-R and the three short forms. Strong positive correlations were found between the scores on the long and short forms, which supports the use of the shortened WAIS-R.

Validation of an item-reduction short form of the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale: Fourth Edition with college students

Article Abstract:

A study revealed the item-reduction short form and full form versions of the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale: Fourth Edition (SB:IV), used to ascertain the intelligence levels of 34 college students, to be compatible. This is suggestive of the possible clinical utility of using this SB:IV model in ascertaining intelligence quotients.
