Concurrent Validity of Three WAIS-R Short Forms in Psychiatric Inpatients.

Benedict, Ralph H. B.; And Others

Psychological Assessment, v4 n3 p322-28 Sep 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)
