Wechsler scales

The Wechsler scales are standardized tests designed to measure a person's intelligence and cognitive abilities. Created by psychologist David Wechsler, they assess various skills, such as verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed. The results help identify intellectual strengths and weaknesses, guiding educational and clinical decisions. The most commonly used versions are the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) for adults and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) for children, providing a comprehensive understanding of general intelligence and cognitive functioning.
