    Introducing the WAIS - IV

    “
    “I’ll be asking you to do a number of things today. Some of the
    things may be really easy for you, but some may be hard. Most
    people do not answer every question correctly or finish every item,
    but please try your best. Do you have any questions?”

    Unlike the traditional Stanford-Binet test, Wechsler compared scores of the


    test-taker to those of others in his or her general age group. The average score
    is fixed at 100, with approximately two-thirds of all scores falling somewhere
    between 85 and 115. Test scores that fall between these two numbers are
    considered average, normal intelligence.

    Steps
    for ▹ Calculate raw score for each subtest
    ▹ Convert raw scores to scaled scores
    Scoring ▹ Generate sums of scaled scores [indexes, Full
    Scale]
    ▹ Convert sums of scaled scores to composite scores
    ▹ Perform discrepancy comparisons
    ▹ Identify subtest strengths and weaknesses
    ▹ Conduct optional process analysis.

    What is the GAI?
    The WAIS–IV General Ability Index (or GAI)
    provides the practitioner with a summary score
    that is less sensitive than the FSIQ to the influence
    of working memory and processing speed.
    GAI = sum of scaled scores for VCI subtests and
    PRI subtests

    10
    When is GAI used?
    The GAI is used if a significant and unusual
    discrepancy exists between
    • VCI and WMI; or
    • PRI and PSI; or
    • WMI and PSI, or
    • between subtests within WMI and/or PSI
