Detailed explanation-1: -Research has shown that the Wechsler test is one of the most well-designed tests to measure intelligence. It provides a wide profile of indexes and scales and really allows for the diagnosis of certain mental complications, as well as an accurate depiction of a person’s intelligence.
Detailed explanation-2: -The median Full Scale IQ is centered at 100, with a standard deviation of 15. In a normal distribution, the IQ range of one standard deviation above and below the mean (i.e, between 85 and 115) is where approximately 68% of all adults would fall.
Detailed explanation-3: -In a sense, Wechsler’s test was a return to many of the ideas that Binet had also espoused. Instead of giving a single overall score, the WAIS provides a profile of the test-taker’s overall strengths and weaknesses. One benefit of this approach is that the pattern of scores can also provide useful information.
Detailed explanation-4: -The WAIS-IV comprises a full scale IQ, as well as indexes on four factors: verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory and processing speed.
