“…This is because this method allows the selection of the most appropriate subtests for each occasion and patient; allows the administration of the rest of the subtests in case a more in-depth evaluation is required; and enables patients to acquire the effects of the practice and experience of dealing with progressively more difficult items. Additionally, methods of administration, correction and scoring are easier than those of the item selection (Allen et al, 1997;Mendella, McFadden, Regan, & Medlock, 2000;Úbeda, Tomás, Dasí, Ruiz, & Fuentes, 2017).…”

Introduction. Since the appearance of the first WAIS scale, there has been a widespread attempt by researchers in the assessment of cognitive abilities to find short forms that facilitate the clinical practice of professionals in those situations where conditions, either because of the time available or the clinical characteristics of patients, do not necessitate the use of an extensive tool. Objective. To carry out a systematic review of the short forms of up to four subtests extracted from the WAIS-III and WAIS-IV scales. Method. Search for information in the PsycINFO database and systematic review of the information following the PRISMA guidelines. Results. Of the 47 studies found, 36 were selected for full-text revision, of which 13 were finally included in this review: 6 of the WAIS-III and 7 of the WAIS-IV. Different forms achieved good results in the quality criteria established in a variety of samples. Discussion and conclusion. There are several forms that are useful for estimating the IQ, according to the samples and the quality criteria used.

“…To the best of our knowledge, the reliability and validity of short-forms have not yet been studied in DM1 patients. For this reason, various studies have highlighted the necessity of validating short-forms in populations with neurological disorders (such as multiple sclerosis, acquired brain injury, epilepsy, and neurofibromatosis, among others) by either analyzing the validity of existing short-forms [19][20][21][22] or developing new ones [23] .…”

“…The most popular method of estimating IQ involves a shortened administration of the Wechsler scales. A variety of subtest combinations are used to estimate a Full Scale IQ (FSIQ) based on administering as few as one Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) subtest and as many as seven (Axelrod et al, 2000; Engelhart et al, 1999; Jeyakumar et al, 2004; Mendella et al, 2000; Pilgrim et al, 1999; Schoenberg et al, 2002, 2004a, 2004b). Many of these subtest combinations are based on their correlations with FSIQ from the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) or Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (Third Edition) (WAIS-III) standardization sample.…”

Brief assessments of general cognitive ability are frequently needed by neuropsychologists, and many methods of estimating intelligence quotient (IQ) have been published. While these measures typically present overall correlations with the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) Full Scale IQ, it is tacitly acknowledged that these estimates are most accurate within 1 standard deviation of the mean and that accuracy diminishes moving toward the tails of the IQ distribution. However, little work has been done to systematically characterize proxy measures at the tails of the IQ distribution. Additionally, while these measures are all correlated with the WAIS, multiple proxy measures are rarely presented in one manuscript. The current article has two goals: (1) Examine various IQ proxies against Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (Third Version) scores, showing the overall accuracy of each measure against the gold standard IQ measure. This comparison will assist in selecting the best proxy measure for particular clinical constraints. (2) The sample is then divided into three groups (below, average, and above-average ability), and each group is analyzed separately to characterize proxy performance at the tails of the IQ distribution. Repeated measures multivariate analysis of variance compares the different proxy measures across ability levels. All IQ estimates are represented in tables so that they can be examined side by side.
