RESUMEN: El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo presentar una revisión teórica de las principales formas abreviadas que han sido desarrolladas por varios autores a partir de las distintas versiones de la Escala de inteligencia de Wechsler para adultos que han ido surgiendo a lo largo del tiempo. El desarrollo de formas cortas ha ido creciendo en paralelo a la aparición de las nuevas versiones de la escala completa. Una forma abreviada permite estimar la capacidad intelectual con un tiempo de administración menor, por lo que puede ser de gran utilidad si el objetivo de evaluación es obtener una medida general de la capacidad intelectual. ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to present a theoretical review of the main short forms that have been developed by several authors based on different versions of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale. The development of short forms has been growing parallel to the appearance of new versions of the full scale. A short form allows estimating the intellectual capacity of someone with less time of administration, which could be very useful if the assessment objective is to obtain an overall measure of intellectual capacity.

In this text, I want to reflect about the impact of the process of my Autoethnography performance training from 2011 in my work/research/life with . . . as a teacher, a researcher, and as a woman standing from a contemporary QI conducting research and teaching about the unsaid topics of the new movements of migration of people in the border of northern Chile from/in and outside the academia. Color, violence, historical influence and Andean migration process, forgetfulness, borders, and the “normal” attitude turned into action as “not to see”/not to feel/not to believe the big problematic realities in foreign lives. All of these are part of this performative text in which I reflect and confront daily life experiences; my academic role and the risks and threats that my latte color woman’s voice mean to the academia in these times.

Based on their research experiences, three female Chilean researchers from the capital city and the north of the country reflect on political trauma and violence, poverty and exclusion, and the processes underlying the mobility of Colombian women in Chile’s northern border. In all of these research areas, “the sensitive” not only becomes a research topic but also confronts both researchers and participants as the main characters of a particular and socially situated relationship. Through their research experiences, proposals, devices, and several methodological strategies for addressing these issues are critically presented, with an emphasis on what qualitative research makes possible, challenges, questions, and faces.

This presentation explains my thoughts, reflections, and feelings about writing interpretive autoethnographic texts in a foreign language. This includes my discovery of myself as a northern Chilean woman who grew up and survived by resisting colonized daily realities. I resisted the oppression and the atrocities that occurred during the Pinochet regime from 1973 through 1990.

This article arose from our interest in investigating our own teaching practices at three universities in Northern Chile. The aim was to generate a deeper understanding of our roles as models for our students, and by using the methodology of the heart, we have joined our three voices of Latin American women researchers to describe the interpretative autoethnography and performative text as ways of researching in education, health, and psychology and its power as a tool for breaking the traditional academic discourse to connect with international audiences from our own biographies. We seek to show how social transformation can occur from the classroom and at the same time challenge the public higher education system that follows free market policies in this neoliberal world. Why use autoethnography? Because reflecting on our own practices through autoethnography allows us to get to know ourselves and at the same time appreciate our voices. Trends in educational research in Latin America have been strongly marked by colonization and dramatically influenced by the knowledge developed in the global north. We propose to put the south in our research by exploring our realities told through social stories of the heart.
