Further Appraisal of the Verbal Scale as a Short Form of the WAIS.

Ward, L. Charles; Selby, Rosemary B.

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v47 n5 p989-90 Oct 1979

Regression estimates closely estimated mean full-scale IQ, suggesting that the verbal scale serves effectively as a WAIS abbreviation. (Author)
