Abstract
This study investigated the comparability between three “amazingly” short forms of the WAIS-R (a dyad, triad, and tetrad) suggested by Kaufman, Ishikuma, and Kaufman-Packer (1991) and the complete battery among a sample of 114 educable mentally handicapped adolescents. Results indicate that the short forms are highly correlated with the complete battery Full Scale IQs, and all three short forms yielded scores, on average, within 2 points of the complete battery. Analyses at an individual level revealed that more than 90% of the sample fell within 3 SEM (9 points) of the FSIQ for all three short forms. Overall results are consistent with previous studies and support the use of these “amazingly” short forms.Keywords
