Further Evaluation of an Abbreviated form of the WAIS

Abstract
WAIS protocols of 30 hospitalized psychiatric patients were rescored according to an abbreviated form introduced by Satz and Mogel. IQ estimates obtained from administration of the full WAIS were comparable. These results agree with the Satz and Mogel findings despite differences in age, sex distribution, and IQ range of the two samples. Unlike other short forms of the WAIS, the Satz and Mogel abbreviated version samples items from all 11 sub-scales and thus provides a wide range of qualitative material. It was concluded that this abbreviated WAIS may be preferable in a clinical setting to other short forms.
