“…High consistency of our results with those reported in the literature suggests only little loss of information related to our use of the Satz-Mogel short form. In fact, high correlations between the full and short forms were demonstrated in the literature (Goebel & Satz, 1975;Marsh, 1973;Osato, Van Gorp, Kern, Satz, & Steinman, 1989). These findings justify the use of the Satz-Mogel short form as an alternative to the full version.…”

This study provides base rates for WAIS‐R VIQ‐PIQ discrepancy and for 3 indices of intersubtest scatter in a sample of high functioning normal elderly. High correlations between indices of scatter, such as (1) range of scatter; (2) Profile Variability Index; and (3) number of subtest scores that significantly deviated from the individual's own mean, indicate that easy‐to‐compute range can be used as an adequate measure of scatter in many clinical settings. The results suggest that bright elderly individuals display a large degree of scatter. The clinician should base judgment regarding abnormality of the WAIS‐R indices on the rarity of the value demonstrated by the individual with respect to the sample of comparable age and intelligence level.

“…Administration of the Wechsler Abbreviated Scales of Intelligence [Goebel and Satz, 1975] estimated verbal IQ to be 55, performance IQ 62, and full scale IQ 55. Physical exam revealed mildly elevated blood pressure, mild facial dysmorphia (consisting of deep‐set eyes, a prominent nasal tip with prominent philtral ridges, myopathic facial appearance, full everted lower lip, and mildly deficient ear lobules: Fig.…”

Pharmaco-genetically guided treatment of recurrent rage outbursts in an adult male with 15q13.3 deletion syndrome

et al. 2011

15q13.3 deletion syndrome (15q13.3DS) is a common recurrent genomic disorder associated with epilepsy, intellectual impairment, aggressive behavior, schizophrenia, and autism. A 39-year-old male presented with 15q13.3DS, epilepsy, intellectual impairment, psychosis, and recurrent episodes of aggressive rage. We hypothesized that the patient's aggressive behavior reflected deficits in α7 nicotinic cholinergic receptor (NChR)-mediated neurotransmission, arising from haploinsufficiency of the structural gene CHRNA7 due to the deletion. Treatment with the NChR allosteric modulator and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor, galantamine, led to a dramatic decline in the frequency and intensity of rage outbursts, suggesting that enhancement of α7 NChR function can ameliorate 15q13.3DS-associated rage outbursts.

“…T. Watkins and Kinzie (1970) also concluded that Satz and Mogel's (1962) short form "may often be inappropriate for that very function for which all of the subtests were retained-profile analysis" (p. 345) but for somewhat different reasons: The scatter was significantly greater on the short form than on the original scale, and on average, there was only a moderate degree of correlation between a subject's subtest scores on the short form and those on the original scale. Goebel and Satz (1975) responded to those criticisms by making use of two special types of profile analysis that they believed were more meaningful than the techniques previously used, and they found that, on average, the profiles of a subject's subtest scores on Satz and Mogel's short form and on the original scale were highly similar and that the short form classified patients into approximately the same profile types as did the original scale. Goebel and Satz concluded that the short form could be substituted for the original scale "for both general IQ assessment.…”

The literature on short forms of individual intelligence tests-Wechsler's scales in particular-is critically reviewed. The review is structured around four choice-points faced by those who study short forms: how to abbreviate the original scale, what kind of subject sample to use, how to estimate IQs on the original scale, and what criteria to apply in evaluating a short form. The review concludes with some reflections based on more than 20 years of research on short forms and the posing of two questions about which little is yet known.Short forms have a long history. Doll (1917) proposed a brief Binet-Simon scale not long after Goddard introduced that scale into the United States and more than 20 years before Wechsler (1939) published the Wechsler-Bellevue Intelligence Scale (W-B). In the present article, however, the focus is on short forms of Wechsler's scales, although most of what follows can be generalized to short forms of any intelligence test constructed along similar lines, that is, as a multitest battery. My purpose is to review what we know about such short forms and how we came to know it, for the benefit of both clinical practitioners and clinical investigators, psychologists who use short forms and psychologists who study them. How Wechsler Viewed Short FormsIn discussing the legitimacy of using short forms, Wechsler (1958) made a distinction based on the use to be made of the results. If all the examiner wants is an IQ for screening purposes, Wechsler observed that there are combinations of three subtests, and even some combinations of two subtests, that may suffice. For anything beyond that, he did not recommend short forms. His view was that an intelligence test should and can give the examiner much more than an IQ (e.g., an evaluation of an individual's strengths and weaknesses), and for that purpose the need was for more testing, not less. Later, Wechsler (1967) appeared to adopt a somewhat harder line, stating that "reduction in the number of [subtests] as a time-saving device is unjustifiable and not to be encouraged" (p. 37) and advising those who ask what one is to do when there is not enough time, to "find the time" (p. 37). How Others Have Viewed Short FormsOthers who have examined the literature on short forms have given them rather mixed reviews. Tellegen and Briggs (1967)
