This approach is similar to psychological testing using an intelligence test like the WAIS ( Wechsler Adult Intelligence Survey ) in which the interviewer records " qualitative " ( i . e ., clinical observations ) throughout the testing process.

The most common IQ tests are the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale ( WAIS ) for individuals over the age of 16 and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children ( WISC ) for individuals aged between 6 and 16 years old.

The 2006 edition of " Assessing adolescent and adult intelligence " by Alan S . Kaufman and Elizabeth O . Lichtenberger reports correlations of 0.86 for identical twins raised together compared to 0.76 for those raised apart and 0.47 for siblings.

David Wechsler adapted a block design subtest for his Wechsler-Bellevue test, the predecessor of his WAIS ( Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale ), from the Kohs block design test developed in 1923 at Stanford University by Samuel Calmin Kohs ( 1890 1984 ).

Verbal working memory is also thought to be one of the elements underlying intelligence ( often referred to as'IQ,'meaning " intelligence quotient " ); thus, the digit span task is a common component of many IQ tests, including the widely used Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale ( WAIS ).

Preliminary results from neuroimaging studies suggest that physical punishment may cause a reduction of grey matter in brain areas associated with performance on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, as well as certain alterations to brain regions which secrete or are sensitive to the neurotransmitter dopamine, linked with a risk of drug and alcohol abuse.

On those other occasions when I have confronted a problem, and done so with the person concerned, it has usually worked out ok, but I have only chosen to deal with such situations when I knew there was an adult intelligence at the other end . talk ) 11 : 19, 15 December 2011 ( UTC)

Approximate IQ distributions in the U . S . based on Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale IQs for Whites ( mean = 101.4 ) and Blacks ( mean = 86.9 ) from ( Reynolds, Chastain, Kaufman, & McLean, 1987, p . 330 ); distributions for Hispanics ( mean = 91 ) and Asians ( mean = 106 ) are less precise.

David Wechsler, developer of the Wechsler Bellevue Scale of 1939 ( which was later developed into the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale ) popularized the use of " deviation IQs " as standard scores of IQ tests rather than the " quotient IQs " ( " mental age " divided by " chronological age " ) then used for the Stanford Binet test.
