The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children--Third Edition (D. Wechsler, 1991; WISC-III) is often used to identify subtest-based cognitive strengths and weaknesses that are subsequently used to generate interventions. Given that intelligence is presumed to be an enduring trait, cognitive strengths and weaknesses identified via subtest analysis should also be stable over time. This was evaluated with 579 students who were twice tested with the WISC-III. Based on 66 subtest composites, 6 or 7 interpretable cognitive strengths and weaknesses were found on each WISC-III administration. However, subtest-based strengths and weaknesses replicated across test-retest occasions at chance levels. Because subtest-based cognitive strengths and weaknesses are unreliable, recommendations based on them will also be unreliable.
韦氏儿童智力量表第三版(D. 韦克斯勒,1991年;WISC - III)常被用于识别基于分测验的认知优势与劣势,这些结果随后被用于制定干预措施。鉴于智力被认为是一种持久的特质,通过分测验分析确定的认知优势与劣势在时间上也应是稳定的。研究人员对579名学生进行了两次WISC - III测试,以此对这一假设进行评估。基于66个分测验组合,每次进行WISC - III测试时都发现了6到7个可解释的认知优势与劣势。然而,基于分测验的优势与劣势在重测时仅以随机水平重复出现。由于基于分测验的认知优势与劣势不可靠,基于它们所给出的建议也将不可靠。
