Comparison of WAIS-R Selected Subtest Short Forms in a Mixed Clinical Population.

Abraham, Elizabeth; Axelrod, Bradley N.; Paolo, Anthony M.

Assessment, v4 n4 p409-17 Dec 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. (SLD)
