Question

Unlike the Stanford-Binet, the Wechsler test provides:

• A. Ratio IQ
• B. Separate Verbal and Performance Scores
• C. A single IQ Score
• D. Cognitive and Affective Scores

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Wechsler’s intelligence tests (e.g., WAIS, WISC) introduced separate scores for verbal and performance tasks. This contrasts with the Stanford-Binet test, which traditionally provided a single IQ score based on a ratio formula.

Wechsler’s approach allowed for a more nuanced understanding of cognitive strengths and weaknesses across different domains.
