Further studies of the Wonderlic Personnel Test as a brief measure of intelligence.

Abstract

Preliminary studies of the Wonderlic Personnel Test as a brief measure of general intelligence have rendered positive findings but have not included a variety of subject groups in the same investigation. Psychiatric, neurological, psychiatric/neurological, and normal subjects were used in this study to evaluate the relations between the Wonderlic and the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale in each sample. In each case close relations were found. The Wonderlic Personnel Test deserves additional attention as a brief measure of general intelligence.

An examination of the structural, discriminant, nomological, and incremental predictive validity of the MSCEIT© V2.0

“…The Wonderlic tests the ability to analyze and solve word comparisons, disarranged sentences, sentence parallelism, number comparisons and series, and geometric figures and story problems (WPT, 2000). It is correlated (r = .85 to .93) with the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale full scale (Dodrill, 1981;Dodrill & Warner, 1988) and has shown strong test-retest reliability (Dodrill, 1983) and validity (Hunter, 1989;Jensen, 1977;McKelvie, 1989).…”

Test–retest changes on scholastic aptitude tests are not related to g

“…GPA is an aggregate index of academic performance that is significantly correlated with g-loaded tests (Jensen, 1998). The Wonderlic is a short test of general cognitive ability that is highly correlated with the Wechsler intelligence scales (rs z .85; see Dodrill, 1981Dodrill, , 1983Dodrill & Warner, 1988). The sort-recall task is a laboratory word-recall test that is moderately correlated with the Wechsler intelligence scales (rs z .30; see Coyle, 2001Coyle, , 2003aCoyle, , 2003b.…”

Personality Assessment Inventory among patients with psychogenic seizures and those with epilepsy

“…All participants were at least 18 years old and had IQ estimates of at least 70 based on the Wonderlic Personnel Test (Dodrill & Warner, 1988). Potential control participants were excluded if they had been diagnosed previously with a neurologic disease or a severe psychiatric illness or had current drug or alcohol abuse.…”
