title: The modified WAIS-R: an extension and revision.
abstract: The Modified WAIS-R (WAIS-RM) is an approach that integrates the procedures of Vincent (1979) and Himelstein (1983). Using the information subtest score as a guide, starting points on 7 of the remaining 10 subscales are upgraded in a way that can shorten administration time of the WAIS-R by as much as 30%. WAIS-R to WAIS-RM correlations for Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale IQs were .995, .996, and .998, respectively (N = 50). Subtest scatter profiles were shown to be retained accurately. This approach appears to have promise as a shortened WAIS-R that retains its clinical utility.
