Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS)

The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) is a widely-used test designed to measure intelligence in adults. It assesses various cognitive abilities, such as verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed. The WAIS helps identify strengths and weaknesses in thinking and problem-solving skills. It is often used in educational settings, clinical assessments, and research to understand an individual's cognitive profile. The results can provide insights into one’s general knowledge, learning potential, and areas that may need support or development.
