  1. A WAIS-IV examinee earns a Full Scale IQ of 130. What percentile rank does this represent?

    Answer: 98th

    An IQ of 130 is two standard deviations above the mean, corresponding to the 98th percentile.

  2. On the Wechsler scales, what is the standard deviation used for the index and Full Scale IQ scores?

    Answer: 15

    Wechsler composite scores have a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.

  3. A subtest scaled score of 13 falls into which descriptive classification?

    Answer: High Average

    Scaled scores of 13–15 are typically classified as High Average (one SD above the mean of 10).

  4. When index scores differ markedly from one another, what does this primarily suggest about the Full Scale IQ?

    Answer: It may not adequately summarize overall ability

    Large index discrepancies mean the Full Scale IQ may mask a scattered profile and should be interpreted cautiously.

  5. What does a 90% confidence interval around a Full Scale IQ communicate?

    Answer: A range likely to contain the true score

    A confidence interval gives a band of scores within which the examinee's true score most likely falls.

  6. Which index measures verbal concept formation and acquired knowledge on the WAIS-IV?

    Answer: Verbal Comprehension Index

    The Verbal Comprehension Index reflects verbal reasoning, concept formation, and acquired knowledge.

  7. In a report, why should raw scores generally NOT be presented as primary results to non-specialist readers?

    Answer: They are meaningless without norm-based conversion

    Raw scores have no interpretive meaning until converted to standardized scores using age-based norms.
