WAIS prediction for an older clinical population using the Quick Test.
Data were analyzed to estimate WAIS Full Scale IQs from Quick Test scores. Ss were 26 mental health center patients ranging in age from 46 to 78 years (X = 58.46, SD = 8.78). In predicting WAIS Full Scale IQs, Quick Test Form 3 age-corrected and uncorrected scores accounted for 66 and 70% of the variance respectively (p less than .001). Two- and three-variable regression models did not yield meaningful increases in variance. Quick Test Form 3 is recommended when a brief measure of intellectual functioning for an aged clinical population is needed.
