Detailed explanation-1: -The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) is an IQ test designed to measure intelligence and cognitive ability in adults and older adolescents. The original WAIS (Form I) was published in February 1955 by David Wechsler, as a revision of the Wechsler–Bellevue Intelligence Scale, released in 1939.
Detailed explanation-2: -He developed the Wechsler-Bellevue Intelligence Scale, which quickly became the most widely used adult intelligence test in the United States.
Detailed explanation-3: -Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale – Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV) The WAIS-IV is the most commonly used test of intelligence for persons aged 16 through 75 years, and may be the intelligence test chosen if your child is a teenager above the age of 15.
Detailed explanation-4: -Wechsler is also notable for his use of the deviation quotient (DQ), a technical innovation that replaced the use of mental ages in computing IQ scores. This greatly improved the utility of normative comparisons when intelligence tests are used with adult examinees (Edwards, 1994).
