Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

David Wechsler disagreed with the use of a single intelligence score, as he believed it did not fully capture the complexity and diversity of human intelligence. Instead, he created the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC), which use subscales to describe different aspects of mental abilities and provide a more comprehensive profile of an individual's intelligence. Additionally, Wechsler did not use the number 100 to designate average intelligence, as he believed that intelligence is not accurately represented by a single number.
