[Problems of the short form of the Hamburg-Wechsler Intelligence Test for Adults].
A comparative study was performed using HAWIE-short form (AW + ZN + GF + MT) and the entire procedure, in which 153 psychiatric in-patients (legal-medical opinion cases), and a control group of 38 other patients were tested. Despite the proven high correlation between both HAWIE forms, it can be seen from the ascertained trend of the regression line, that the tested short form has a higher average mean value. The significant distortions, especially those in the lower I.Q. field, seem to contradict the probability of any imprudent reduction in intelligence scoring.
