Wechsler Adult Intelligent Scale

The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) is a standardized test designed to measure different aspects of a person's mental abilities. It assesses areas such as verbal reasoning, working memory, processing speed, and perceptual reasoning through a series of tasks and questions. The results provide an overall IQ score and insights into specific strengths and weaknesses, helping psychologists understand an individual's cognitive abilities. The WAIS is commonly used in clinical, educational, and research settings to evaluate intellectual functioning, diagnose cognitive impairments, or inform treatment and support strategies.
