This article provides a review of the British Ability Scales, Second Edition (BAS II) for applied psychologists; it aims to describe the special features of the scale, highlighting implications for practice, as well as describing the developments in psychometry this scale represents in comparison with other widely used tests. Although the BAS has been in use since 1979 and represents a more contemporary psychometric model of human ability, with British norms, it is not as widely used in British research or applied psychological assessment as might be anticipated; traditional allegiances to the older, more established, Anglicised standardisation of the American Wechsler scales appear to persist.
本文为应用心理学家提供了对《英国能力量表第二版》（BAS II）的综述；旨在描述该量表的特点，强调其实践意义，并说明与其他广泛使用的测试相比，该量表在心理测量学方面所代表的发展。尽管BAS自1979年起就已投入使用，代表了一种更现代的人类能力心理测量模型，且有英国常模，但它在英国研究或应用心理评估中的使用并不像预期的那样广泛；对美国韦氏量表旧的、更成熟的、英国化标准化的传统忠诚似乎仍然存在。
