Validity of Random Short Forms: III. Wechsler's Intelligence Scales.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Silverstein, A. B. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1983
Formulas for estimating the validity of random short forms were applied to the standardization data for the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, and the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale. These formulas demonstrated how much "better than random" the best short forms of these…

Validity of Random Short Forms.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Silverstein, A. B. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
Estimates of the validity of random short forms can serve as benchmarks against which to appraise the validity of particular short forms. Formulas are presented for estimating the validity of random short forms and illustrated with Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) and Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory data.

Validity and Time Savings in the Selection of Short Forms of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale--Revised.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ward, L. Charles; Ryan, Joseph J. – Psychological Assessment, 1996
Validity and reliability were calculated from data in the standardization sample of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale--Revised for 565 proposed short forms. Time saved in comparison with use of the long form was estimated. The most efficient combinations were generally those composed of subtests that were quick to administer. (SLD)

Validation of Kaufman, Ishikuma, and Kaufman-Packer's Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised Short Forms on a Clinical Sample.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
McCusker, Paul J. – Psychological Assessment, 1994
Three short forms of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R), developed in 1991, were cross-validated on 207 male and 133 female adolescent psychiatric inpatients and outpatients. Results show psychometric properties for the short forms that are comparable to those of the WAIS-R standardization sample. (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)
