    The document summarizes the WAIS-R intelligence test, which was an revision of the earlier WAIS test. It measures major mental abilities through verbal and performance subtests. The WAIS-R was standardized using stratified sampling to represent various demographic groups. Scoring rules and IQ tables mapping scores to standardized means and distributions were developed. The test demonstrates good reliability and validity for measuring intelligence. Administration and scoring procedures provide guidance to examiners.

    The passage discusses the development and purpose of the WAIS-R intelligence test, which aims to measure major mental abilities. It also outlines the verbal and performance scales that compose the test as well as how scores and IQs are derived.

    The WAIS-R is designed to measure major mental abilities. It aims to provide an aggregate or global measure of an individual's capacity to act purposefully, think rationally, and deal effectively with their environment.

    The WAIS-R contains both a verbal scale and a performance scale. The verbal scale includes subtests like information, digit span, vocabulary, etc. The performance scale includes subtests like picture completion, block design, object assembly, etc.

    INTRODUCTION
    The WAIS-R extends the line of test development that

    begin with the publication of form 1 of the wechsler Bellevue intelligence scale in 1939, and continued with it revision, the WAIS published in 1955. WHAT INTELLIGENCE TEST MEASURES?
    They are design to measure major mental abilities. Intelligence is the aggregate or global capacity of the

    individual to act purposefully, to think rationally and to deal effectively with his environment (Wechsler, 1944, p. 3).

    STANDEREDIZATION OF SCALE
    A stratified sampling plan was adopted to insure that

    representative proportions of various classes of adult would be included in the standardization sample. Age Sex Race Geographic Rigion Occupation Education Urban/Rural Residence

    INTERPERTATION OF IQ
    Quantitative interpretation: The verbal, performance, and full scale IQ distribution were constructed to have means of 100 and SD of 15 within each of 9 age group.
    Classification of intelligence: In using qualitative and diagnostic categories to describe levels of intelligence it is desirable to assign numerical limits to each category.

    Properties of scale
    Reliability : The reliability of a test refers to the accuracy of its measurements or put another way to the extent of agreement between score obtained from two or more administrations of the tests to the same subject. Two types of data are offered

    Reliability coefficients Slandered error of measurements

    Properties of scale
    Validity :
    The initial evidence of the validity of the Wechsler Adult

    scales stems from the procedures used to determine the content of the original W-B scale.

    General directions for scoring


    If a response is intended to replace an earlier response,

    the earlier response should be ignored and the later one scored. Any spoiled response is scored 0 If two independent answers are given to a question, the examiner must ask which answer is intended If a subject gives two or more answers to a questions, non of which spoils the response, the best answer of the group should be scored
