Validity and time savings in the selection of short forms of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised

Article Abstract:

The subtest administration time is an important consideration in selecting short forms of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R). Research indicates that estimation is easier with subsets that are quick to administer as compared to longer subtests. Grouped by administration time, the best short forms are those composed of subtests with short administration time. Short form validity is predicted by the number of subtests composing the short form. Acceptable validities and reliabilities are found for many short forms from each time-saving category.

Validity, reliability, and standard errors of measurement for two seven-subtest short forms of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-III

Article Abstract:

Research designed to provide validity and reliability information about the two Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-III (WAIS-III) 7-subtest short forms has established that the validity coefficients for the two WAIS-III short forms are very high on the estimated Verbal, Performance and Full Scale IQs. For all age groups in the standardization sample, the estimated Verbal and Full Scale scores are rather more valid than the estimated Performance Scale scores. The estimated WAIS-III IQs should not be used for precise intelligence classification.

Intersubtest scatter on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised for China: reply to Li and Balfour (1996)

Article Abstract:

Clarifying omissions in the original article "Intersubtest scatter on the Mainland Chinese version of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale," additional data on the subject are provided. W. Li and L. Balfour question the association of years of education with IQ. Among Chinese adults and adolescents who witnessed the Cultural Revolution, education and IQ were highly correlated. Unlike the Americans, the intersubtest scatter decreased as intelligence level increased among the Chinese.
