: Intelligence Testing ­ Interpreting a Wechsler Profile

Intelligence Testing ­ Interpreting a Wechsler Profile

In this assignment, you will examine a hypothetical Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC)

test profile and describe the strengths and weaknesses you would expect to observe in the examinee

during a typical school day.

Learning to competently administer, score and interpret intelligence tests such as the Wechsler and

Stanford­Binet Scales requires months (if not years) of supervised training at the graduate level. This

assignment is not designed to teach you how to interpret tests; completion of this assignment will

not make you more qualified to administer, score and/or interpret actual intelligence tests. Rather, the

purpose of this assignment is to familiarize you with very basic concepts and procedures underlying

the use of intelligence test scores.
