Quizplus · Accepted Answer

David Wechsler designed the WAIS to provide a general IQ score, a verbal IQ score, and a performance IQ score, assessing a wide range of intellectual abilities. This approach helped to overcome some of the limitations of earlier intelligence tests that focused only on verbal ability. The WAIS is one of the most widely used IQ tests in the world and is commonly used to diagnose intellectual disability, identify strengths and weaknesses in cognitive functioning, and provide information for educational and vocational planning.
