Intelligence tests Flashcards
Who is the WAIS for
Clients between the age of 16 and 90 years and 11 months.
How many subtests in the WAIS and are they used to calculate?
There are 10 core subtests used to calculate the Full Scale Intelligence quotients but 15 over all. The 10 core subtests help score Verbal Comprehension, perceptual Reasoning, Working Memory and Processing Speed Index.
What is the General Ability Index and how is it scored.
Using Verbal and Perceptual reasoning scores. It provides an estimate of intelligence with less reliance on working memory and processing speed.
What can the WAIS be used for? (6)
Intelligence Cognitive delay Learning difficulties Giftedness Examination of cognitive strengths and weaknesses Changes in cognitive functioning.
What are the 10 core subtests of the WAIS?
Similarities Vocabulary Information Block design Matrix reasoning Visual puzzles Digit span Arithmetic Symbol search Coding
What are the 5 supplemental subtests of WAIS?

How is the WAIS scored
The WAIS is scored by using calculating standard scores (M=100, SD= 15) for the the VCI, PRI, WMI and PSI . and FSIQ. Raw subtest scores are converted to scale scores (m=10, SD=3) for the 15 subtests.

Who is Alfred Binet
The original creator of the Stanford Binet
What are the standford binet five facotrs of congitve ability
- Fluid Reasoning
- Knowledge
- Quantitative reasoning
- Visual-Spatial reasoning
- Working memory
Why would you use the standford binet over the WISC
It includes both verbal and nonverbal versions of subtests for when a client has minimal linguistic skills and instead rely on pointing
What is the VIQ
the total of the 5 verbal subtest and it stands for Verbal IQ
What is the NVIQ
the non verbal intelligence quotient which combines scores from the 5 nonverbal subtests
WHat is the FSIQ made up of in the SB5
The FSIQ is the full scale intelligence quotient and its made up of all 10 subtests in the SB5
Who can the SB5 be used for
for people between 2 and 85+. It is useful for diagnosisng a wide range of developmental disabilities
What is the ABIQ
The ABIQ is the abbreviated battery IQ it provides a brief measure of fluid reasoning and crystalised ability
What can the ABIQ be used for?
The ABIQ can be used for assessments such as neuropsychological examinations, in
which a battery of tests supplements the SB5, or for quick yet reliable assessments to verify the general
cognitive status of an individual.
What 9 contexts could the SB5 be used in
- Clinical Assessment
- Neuropsychological assesment
- Early childhood assessment
- Psychoeducational evaluation for special education placements
- For compensation evluations

measuring intelligence and problem solving skills
Who is the KAIT made for
11 to 85 plus year olds
What are the 2 strengths of the KAIT
- It is less influenced by cultury, opportunity and specific experiences.
- Both Visual and auditory formats are utilised to measure intelligence across different contexts. Consequently individuals become more actively engaged in the tests available
Who is the mental status subtest in the KAIT good for
individuals with low levels of cognitive functioning
Who can the KAIT be used with
11 to 85 years and over
What extra information does the KAIT add
Info around fluid reaasoning and memory retrieval.
How is the KAIT administered x
Using a structured interview with two easels to enable the test taker to see the item stimulus on one side and the test directions and scoring key on the other side.
Does the KAIT have Australian norms
no! The norms are from the US and have bee adapted for germany and the netherlands
What is the WASI and what edition is it in
The WASI is the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of intelligence. It is a brief measure of general cognitive ability. It is in the second edition
Who sithe WASI suitable for
6 through to 91
When is the WASI used
In research, clinical and educational settings when a full comprehensive test of IQ is not required
WHat are the 4 subtests of the WASI
- Vocabulary
- Similarities
- Block Design
- Matrix Reasoning
Can the subtests of the WASI be swapped with the WAIS
yes
Why is the WASI not used for diagnosis and educational support?
Because it is a brief measure clinical accuracy is reduced compared to a full measure of intelligence.
Does the WASI have norms
the WASI does but not the WASI-II
