title: An MS-DOS program for certain computations for the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale--Revised.
abstract: A compiled program for MS-DOS computers is described. The program computes four useful measures for the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale--Revised (WAIS-R). It will estimate the subject's premorbid Verbal, Performance, and Full-Scale IQs from demographic data. It will prorate the sum of the Verbal or Performance scaled scores when less than the full number of subtests are administered. It will compute the deviation of each age-scaled score from either the Verbal or Performance mean, indicating the reliability and abnormality of all differences. For those subtests which differ significantly from the appropriate mean score, the program briefly describes the subject's relative strengths and weaknesses. Finally, the program will compute the difference between the Verbal and Performance IQs, indicating the reliability and abnormality of the difference.
