title: Comparison of WAIS and WAIS-R scores of mildly and moderately mentally retarded adults.
abstract: The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) and the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) were administered to 29 mildly and moderately mentally retarded adults. The WAIS Verbal and Full Scale IQs were significantly lower than were corresponding WAIS-R IQs. This difference is an exception to the general pattern of IQs being higher for tests that were standardized earlier. The present results suggest that WAIS-R IQs will be much higher than WISC-R IQs.
