title: Comparability of correlates of original and revised Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scales in an alcohol-abusing population.
abstract: The correlates of the original and revised Wechsler scales were investigated among a sample of alcohol abusers referred for assessment of possible intellectual impairment. Fifty of the subjects were assessed with the original scale, while 44 were examined with the revised scale. The correlates of the two scales with other intellectual, demographic, and drinking variables suggested that the established correlates of the original scale may be cautiously assumed to hold for the revised version.
