Wechsler Intelligence Scale

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale is a standardized test designed to measure a person's cognitive abilities, including reasoning, problem-solving, memory, and understanding. It provides an overall intelligence score, known as an IQ, and breaks down performance into different areas like verbal skills and working memory. The test is used by psychologists to assess cognitive strengths and challenges in children and adults, helping identify learning disabilities, developmental progress, or intellectual functioning. It is a widely respected tool that offers a comprehensive view of an individual's mental capabilities.
