Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children - III
Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children - III
This intelligence test is the universal standard which School Psychologists use most
often. This version of the Wechsler is standardized for children from age 6 to 16.
The test, itself, is divided into two main sections. The Verbal Scale measures how well
children are able to express themselves verbally and how well they are able to understand
what is being said to them. The Performance Scale measures the nonverbal areas of being
able to perceive spatial relationships; such as in putting puzzles together, and being
able to transfer visual information rapidly.
Using test interpretation, the three I.Q. scores and the specific pattern of strengths and
weaknesses indicate how well the child is able to learn and whether there are any specific
learning disabilities. This information is then used to predict at what academic level the
child should be functioning. In this way, diagnoses of learning impairments
are possible.
