Although the Spanish version of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS; Escala de Inteligencia Wechsler para Adultos [EIWA]) is the most frequently used intellectual assessment for Spanish speaking clients in the United States, there is little information available on score differences necessary to establish reliable and abnormal differences between Performance IQ (PIQ) and Verbal IQ (VIQ), and between the various subtests of the EIWA. The present study, based on EIWA standardization data (N = 616 Puerto Ricans), reports reliability data and base rates to assist in evaluating the clinical significance of PIQ-VIQ differences. The results demonstrated substantial similarity between the EIWA and the English versions of the Wechsler tests. The interpretation of these differences is discussed, and tables are presented of statistically and clinically significant differences.
尽管韦氏成人智力量表（WAIS；韦氏成人智力量表西班牙语版[EIWA]）的西班牙语版本是美国针对说西班牙语客户最常用的智力评估工具，但关于在操作智商（PIQ）和言语智商（VIQ）之间以及EIWA的各个子测验之间建立可靠和异常差异所需的分数差异，几乎没有可用信息。本研究基于EIWA标准化数据（N = 616名波多黎各人），报告了可靠性数据和基础比率，以协助评估PIQ-VIQ差异的临床意义。结果表明，EIWA与韦氏测验的英语版本之间存在实质性相似性。讨论了对这些差异的解释，并列出了具有统计学和临床意义的差异表格。
