WAIS

WAIS, or the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, is a standardized test used to measure adult intelligence. It assesses different aspects of cognitive abilities, such as understanding and using language, solving problems, working memory, and processing information quickly. The test provides a score that reflects overall intellectual functioning, as well as specific insights into particular strengths and weaknesses. Psychologists use WAIS to help diagnose cognitive issues, plan treatment, or better understand an individual's mental abilities. It is a widely accepted tool in clinical, educational, and research settings for evaluating adult intelligence.
