A short form of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale--Revised (WAIS-R) developed by Ward (WAIS-R/7 SF; 1990) was used to generate Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale IQ scores (VIQ, PIQ, and FSIQ, respectively) in 66 individuals diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). Short-form scores were highly correlated with WAIS-R scores. However, the short-form VIQ and PIQ, but not FSIQ, scores differed significantly from corresponding WAIS-R scores. WAIS-R/7 SF VIQ, PIQ, and FSIQ scores fell within 5, 9, and 6 absolute error points, respectively, of corresponding WAIS-R IQ scores in 95% of cases. Classification of IQ scores into ranges (e.g., average, high average, etc.) based on the scheme outlined by Wechsler (1981) was consistent between WAIS-R/7 SF and WAIS-R scores in 81.8% (for VIQ), 74.8% (for PIQ), and 89.4% (for FSIQ) of cases. These findings are discussed within the context of using the WAIS-R/7 SF in the assessment of MS patients.
沃德编制的韦氏成人智力量表修订版简式(WAIS-R/7 SF;1990)用于生成66名被诊断为多发性硬化症(MS)患者的言语、操作和全量表智商分数(分别为VIQ、PIQ和FSIQ)。简式分数与WAIS-R分数高度相关。然而,简式VIQ和PIQ分数(而非FSIQ分数)与相应的WAIS-R分数存在显著差异。在95%的病例中,WAIS-R/7 SF的VIQ、PIQ和FSIQ分数分别落在相应WAIS-R智商分数的5、9和6个绝对误差点范围内。根据韦氏(1981)概述的方案将智商分数分类到不同范围(如平均、高平均等),在81.8%(VIQ)、74.8%(PIQ)和89.4%(FSIQ)的病例中,WAIS-R/7 SF和WAIS-R分数之间是一致的。本文在使用WAIS-R/7 SF评估MS患者的背景下讨论了这些发现。
