The Wechsler Scales

The Wechsler Scales are psychological tests designed to measure intellectual ability and cognitive functions in individuals. They assess various aspects of intelligence, such as verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed. The results help identify cognitive strengths and weaknesses, aiding in educational placement and identifying learning disabilities. The most common versions are the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) for adults and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) for kids. Overall, these scales provide valuable insights into a person's cognitive abilities in relation to general knowledge and problem-solving skills.
