used as tools in school placement, in determining the presence of a learning disability or a developmental delay, in identifying giftedness, and in tracking intellectual development.
used to determine vocational ability, to assess adult intellectual ability in the classroom, and to determine organic deficits.
The Wechsler Intelligence Scales are a series of standardized tests used to evaluate cognitive abilities and intellectual abilities in children and adults.
The WISC-III subtests includes many of the same categories of subtests as the WAIS-R. In addition, there are two optional performance subtests:
You cannot get a copy of a professional assessment scale such as the WISC unless you are trained to administer it. You will need to contact a mental health professional or child testing center to have the test administered.
Communications intelligence (COM-INT) electronics intelligence (ELINT), and foreign instrumentation signals intelligence (FISINT)
Here are some pros and cons of intelligence test: Pros - let you gauge your intelligence, sets a standard, gives something to strive for. Cons - not all intelligence in the same, performance on a test does not necessarily indicate intelligence, inflates egos.
1. Naturalist Intelligence ("Nature Smart")2. Musical Intelligence ("Musical Smart")3. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence (Number/Reasoning Smart)4. Existential Intelligence5. Interpersonal Intelligence (People Smart")6. Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence ("Body Smart")7. Linguistic Intelligence (Word Smart)8. Intra-personal Intelligence (Self Smart")9. Spatial Intelligence ("Picture Smart")
All of the Wechsler scales are divided into six verbal and five performance subtests.
Wechsler scale is the most used. When we say a guy is gifted, it's 132.
The scales have a mean, or average, standard score of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.

Such tests include the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, the Wechsler Intelligence Scales, the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence, and the Kaufmann Assessment Battery for Children.
According to the Wechsler Intelligence Scales, an IQ of 133 is classified as very superior intelligence.

A great difference is that Wechsler scale doens't calculate your IQ the same way as STanford-binet intelligence scale. 132 iQ (wechsler) => something like 140...in the SBIS scale. You will find a really complete answer by going on best-iq-test (dot) on the title: IQ: IQ Test scales - The Stanford-Binet scale.
