Abstract | The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) has a long history, dating back to the 1930s, when it was devised specifically for measuring the intelligence of children through verbal and performance subtests. Intelligence quotients (IQs) are developed for verbal and performance skills. The subtests, their factors, indices derived from them, and IQs are discussed for the third version (WISC-III). A difference of 15 points between the verbal and performance IQs is indicative of problems that may warrant further evaluation. While the WISC-III may have some value in identifying neurological problems, its primary uses are in educational applications. A worksheet is described for the educational applications of the WISC-III. It allows the evaluator to examine a number of factors influencing achievement and provides a sound basis for educational placement and curriculum recommendations. A narrative section is included for specific interpretations and recommendations for the classroom teacher. (Contains 44 references.) (SLD) |
