Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale

The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) is a widely used test that assesses adult intelligence through various tasks. It measures different cognitive abilities, including verbal comprehension, working memory, perceptual reasoning, and processing speed. The results provide an overall IQ score and help identify strengths and weaknesses in thinking and problem-solving skills. Psychologists use the WAIS for various purposes, including educational assessments, psychological evaluations, and research, providing insights into an individual's cognitive function compared to others in their age group.
