“…The development of short forms is not to say that the full scale version of the WAIS should be abandoned. It has long been stressed that short forms may impede pattern analyses (Wechsler, 1944referred in Olivier, Golden, Acevedo, Sterk, Espinosa, & Spengler, 2013 and should be used with caution in cases of extreme values (Engelhart, Eisenstein, Johnson, & Losonczy, 1999), but are suitable as screening instruments when exact FSIQ-measures are not needed and for research purposes (Sattler & Ryan, 2009;van Ool et al, 2017). It is also important to pay attention to the differences between the group and individual levels.…”

The study aimed at investigating whether the seven-subtest short form based on WAIS-R (Ward 1990) was statistically valid to use on the Swedish version of Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV), if this abbreviation was fit to catch the heterogeneity in test performance across age and if this brief measure was possible to abbreviate even more. WAIS-IV data from a non-clinical sample consisting of 261 participants ranging between 18 and 74 in age was analyzed with bivariate and multiple regression analyses, a prorating method for calculation of Full Scale IQ (FSIQ) and its indices as well as paired-samples t-test. The results were contradictory. When the original WAIS-IV was compared to the seven-subtest short form the results showed a good congruence on FSIQ-level between the two sets, but on index level there were several cases of mismatches. In the younger and middle aged sample (<55 years) results on FSIQ as well as index level were in accordance, whereas in the elderly group (55 years) they were incongruent. The best reduction of the seven-subtest short form was a four-subtest model, encompassing Block Design, Similarities, Arithmetic and Coding, one subtest from each index, but the ttests indicated several cases of mismatches between the full WAIS-IV measures and the prorated scores. Applied on the Swedish version of the WAIS-IV the seven-subtest formula appears to be applicable on an FSIQ level, to be suitable for a younger sample, but not for an elderly. Otherwise, this model and the four-subtest model are recommended to be used with caution.

“…This WAIS‐IV‐SF is a short form validated among people with neurological disorders and impaired intellectual functioning (Van Ool et al . ). In cases of lower expected conceptual functioning, the Picture Peabody Vocabulary Test–Third edition (PPVT‐III; Dunn & Dunn ) was used, which results in an estimation of the developmental age.…”

Background In the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-Fifth edition (DSM-5), the diagnostic criteria of intellectual disability (ID) include three domains of adaptive deficits: the conceptual, social and practical. Substantial intra-individual differences between domains can be considered an ID domain discrepancy. Method We explored the associations between ID domains, discrepancies and epilepsy in 189 adults (mean age = 47.9; SD = 15.6). Each DSM-5 ID domain was assessed separately, using subscales of the Vineland II for the social and practical domains, and psychological instruments, including intelligence tests, for the conceptual domain. A set of standardised criteria is proposed to identify an ID domain discrepancy. Results An ID domain discrepancy seemed to be present in about one-third of subjects and was particularly present in subjects with moderate ID (53.4%). Impairment in the social domain was most often the reason for the discrepancy. The presence of a discrepancy was significantly related to a focal (localised) epilepsy type (OR = 2.3, P = .028) and a mixed seizure type (OR = 1.4, P = .009). Epilepsy characteristics that are indicative of a more severe and refractory epilepsy, including various seizure types, a high seizure frequency, a combined epilepsy type (both focal and generalised epilepsy) and an early age at onset, were significantly related to more severe impairments in conceptual, social and practical adaptive behaviour (all P values <.01). Conclusions With a substantial proportion of the subjects who had both ID and epilepsy with an ID discrepancy, professionals should be aware of this and take all domains of ID into account when studying or working with this vulnerable population.

“…In fact, they are one of the most widely used assessment tools by professionals in this area. This is due to the important information they offer, which has become broader and more specific through successive editions (Crawford, Allan, McGeorge, & Kelly, 1997;Girard, Axelrod, & Wilkins, 2010;Girard, Axelrod, Patel, & Crawford, 2015;van Ool et al, 2018).…”

“…Meanwhile, only one work from the WAIS-IV scale obtained a three-subtest short form to estimate IQ: Block Design-Similarities-Digit Span (Ryan et al, 2015). Finally, eight studies have opted for four-subtest short forms (four of the WAIS-III and four of the WAIS-IV) (Blyler, Gold, Iannone & Buchanan, 2000;Fuentes, Romero, Dasí, & Ruiz, 2010;Grégoire & Wierzbicki, 2009;Lindau & Najström, 2018;Ryan et al, 2015;Schrimsher, O'Bryant, O'Jile & Sutker, 2008;Úbeda et al, 2017;van Ool et al, 2018). The eight forms obtained are different.…”

Introduction. Since the appearance of the first WAIS scale, there has been a widespread attempt by researchers in the assessment of cognitive abilities to find short forms that facilitate the clinical practice of professionals in those situations where conditions, either because of the time available or the clinical characteristics of patients, do not necessitate the use of an extensive tool. Objective. To carry out a systematic review of the short forms of up to four subtests extracted from the WAIS-III and WAIS-IV scales. Method. Search for information in the PsycINFO database and systematic review of the information following the PRISMA guidelines. Results. Of the 47 studies found, 36 were selected for full-text revision, of which 13 were finally included in this review: 6 of the WAIS-III and 7 of the WAIS-IV. Different forms achieved good results in the quality criteria established in a variety of samples. Discussion and conclusion. There are several forms that are useful for estimating the IQ, according to the samples and the quality criteria used.
