The WISC is intended to evaluate only intelligence, and not other aspects of a subject.

I removed that, because it's complete baloney. David Wechsler himself said, "IQ tests are, first and foremost, clinical instruments."


There needs to be discussion of the specific subtests. Also, though print sources are cited for the article, the general tone seems a bit subjective.--69.124.56.44 14:23, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Is this citation "Kaplan & Saccuzzo (2005)" the same as this citation:

Kaplan, R.M. & Saccuzzo, D.P. (2005). Psychological Testing: Principles, Applications, and Issues, 6th Edition. Belmont: Thompson Wadsworth. ISBN 0534633064

Can anyone confirm this quote, anyone work at a library, bookstore or have a copy of this text and can confirm the quote?
