उत्तर

The WAIS, or Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, is a widely used test designed to measure the intelligence of adults (typically ages 16 and above). Developed by David Wechsler, it assesses different aspects of intelligence through verbal and performance-based tasks.

The WAIS includes subtests that evaluate abilities like:

  • Verbal comprehension
  • Working memory
  • Processing speed
  • Perceptual reasoning

The results provide a Full-Scale IQ score, along with scores for specific abilities, helping psychologists understand a person’s strengths and weaknesses in cognitive functioning.
