Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-IV)

Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-IV)
On the WAIS-IV, a test of overall intellectual ability, Xxx’s estimated Full Scale IQ was within the High Average range at the 79th percentile (FSIQ=112) when compared to other individuals his age.While the FSIQ provides a broad representation of cognitive ability, describing Xxx’s domain-specific performance allows for a more thorough understanding of his functioning in distinct areas. Some individuals perform at approximately the same level in all of these areas, but most individuals display areas of cognitive strength and weakness. On the Perceptual Reasoning Index, a measure of non-verbal, visual-spatial reasoning abilities, he obtained a score of 117 (87th percentile) within the High Average

Within the verbal domain, Xxx obtained a score of 112 (79th percentile) within the High Average range on the Verbal Comprehension Index (VCI), a measure of verbal reasoning abilities. His score on the Processing Speed Index (PSI), a measure of accurate visual perception and speeded visual-motor response, was in the Average range (SS= 91; 30th percentile). Examination of individual subtest performance suggests Xxx performed relatively consistently throughout the subtest. There was not a significant difference between Xxx’s VCI and PRI scores indicating balanced development between his language-related abilities and his perceptual-motor and visual reasoning abilities. His Working Memory Index score indicated High Average range abilities in mental manipulation, control, and attention. However, his Processing Speed Index score while still on par with his same age peers does demonstrate significant relative weakness for

His Academic Applications score fell within the High Average range and was consistent with his FSIQ score on the WAIS-IV, suggesting that his ability to apply academic knowledge in order to solve problems is intact. He obtained an Average score on Applied Problems, a measure of his ability to apply foundational mathematic skills to solve word problems. He scored within the High Average range on Passage Comprehension, a measure of reading comprehension. His performance on Writing Samples was in the Superior range. There were not statistically significant discrepancies between cognitive and achievement scores to indicate the presence of a learning
