A key advantage of the Stanford-Binet intelligence test over the WAIS is that the Stanford-Binet provides scores on 11 subtests that measure different abilities rather than simply a global IQ score.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The WAIS (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale) actually provides scores on multiple subtests across different domains (e.g., verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning), offering a detailed profile of strengths and weaknesses, whereas the Stanford-Binet also provides a full-scale IQ score along with scores in five factor indexes, not 11 subtests specifically designed to measure different abilities as the statement suggests.
