Proposes Vocabulary and Block Design as a two-subtest short form of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised; the addition of Arithmetic and Picture Arrangement provides a four-subtest short form of the scale. Presents tables giving Full Scale IQs for each of nine age groups for both short forms. (Author)

Composite Reliability and Standard Errors of Measurement for a Seven-Subtest Short Form of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Schretlen, David; And Others – Psychological Assessment, 1994
Composite reliability and standard errors of measurement were computed for prorated Verbal, Performance, and Full-Scale intelligence quotient (IQ) scores from a seven-subtest short form of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised. Results with 1,880 adults (standardization sample) indicate that this form is as reliable as the complete test.…

Comparative Test-Retest Stability of Four WAIS-R Selected Subtest Short Forms in Persons 75 to 87 Years.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ryan, Joseph J.; And Others – Assessment, 1994
The retest stability of four Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) short forms (Kaufman, Ishikuma, and Kaufman-Packer; Reynolds, Wilson and Clark; Silverstein; Ward) was investigated with 61 subjects aged 75 to 87 years. Short form stability in each instance was comparable to that of the standard WAIS-R. (SLD)

Clinical Use of Short Forms of the WAIS-R.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ehrenreich, John H. – Assessment, 1996
Five short forms of the revised edition of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised were compared for use with an inpatient population. Results with 110 psychiatric inpatients are discussed in terms of trade-offs among administration time, accuracy of IQ estimation, and the clinical value of obtaining scores from the full test. (SLD)

Comparison of WAIS-R Selected Subtest Short Forms in a Mixed Clinical Population.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Abraham, Elizabeth; Axelrod, Bradley N.; Paolo, Anthony M. – Assessment, 1997
Seven different short forms of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, Revised (WAIS-R) were compared in a mixed clinical sample of 306 adults to evaluate short form predictions of the full scale IQ. The seven-test short form of C. Ward (1990) was the best predictor across ranges of intellectual functioning, supporting its use when time is limited.…

Efficacy of the Satz-Mogel Short Form WAIS-R for Tumor Patients with Lateralized Lesions.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Mattis, Paul J.; And Others – Psychological Assessment, 1992
The predictive power of the short-form Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale of P. Satz and S. Mogel to provide equivalent information about IQ scores and age-corrected scale scores was not differentially affected by the side of the lesion for 63 patients with brain tumors. (SLD)

Concurrent Validity of Three WAIS-R Short Forms in Psychiatric Inpatients.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Benedict, Ralph H. B.; And Others – Psychological Assessment, 1992
The concurrent validities of 3 short forms of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) were compared for their prediction of full-scale IQ for 145 male and 159 female psychiatric inpatients. Results support previous research showing better predictive accuracy for L. C. Ward's (1990) seven-subtest short form than the others. (SLD)
