Performance on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-III (WAIS-III) was compared to performance on the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence (WASI), as well as short form estimations of intellectual functioning derived from WAIS-III performance, in a mixed clinical sample of 72 participants. The WASI verbal IQ (VIQ) score was significantly higher than the WAIS-III VIQ, whereas performance IQ (PIQ) estimates all differed from actual WAIS-III PIQ and full scale IQ (FSIQ). Correlations of WAIS-III scores with WASI scores were consistently lower than were correlations between the WASI-III and all other short forms. Although maintaining administration times of 15 minutesfor a two-subtest FSIQ and 30 minutes for a four-subtest FSIQ, the WASI did not consistently demonstrate desirable accuracy in predicting scores obtained from the WAIS-III. The results suggest that clinicians should use the WASI cautiously if at all, especially when accurate estimates of individuals' WAIS-III results are needed.
在一个由72名参与者组成的混合临床样本中，对韦氏成人智力量表第三版（WAIS - III）的表现与韦氏简式智力量表（WASI）的表现以及从WAIS - III表现得出的智力功能简式估计进行了比较。WASI言语智商（VIQ）得分显著高于WAIS - III的VIQ，而操作智商（PIQ）估计值均与实际的WAIS - III PIQ和全量表智商（FSIQ）不同。WAIS - III分数与WASI分数的相关性始终低于WASI - III与所有其他简式之间的相关性。尽管对于两个分测验的FSIQ保持15分钟的施测时间，对于四个分测验的FSIQ保持30分钟的施测时间，但WASI在预测从WAIS - III获得的分数时并未始终表现出理想的准确性。结果表明，临床医生应谨慎使用WASI（如果使用的话），尤其是在需要准确估计个体WAIS - III结果时。
