The average reliability of the WISC-IV core battery subtests can be best described as

The WISC-IV represents the most substantial revision of the Wechsler scales to date.

Kaufman's and Flanagan's intraindividual (ipsative) analysis method has improved upon traditional ipsative methods in several ways. One major difference between their approach and traditional approaches is that they recommend using composites or clusters, rather than subtests, in intraindividual analysis.

Which of the following subtests listed does not have reverse rules?

If a child asks for clarification or repetition of an item after timing has begun, the examiner should discontinue timing.

Which subtests allow for the calculation of a "process score"?

If a child obtains total raw scores of 0 on two of the three subtests that compose the Verbal Comprehension scale, including potential substitutues, no VCI or FSIQ can be derived.

A poor response is an elaboration that does not improve the child's spontaneous response, whereas a spoiled response is an elaboration that reveals a fundamental misconception about the item.

Samuel, age 10, is suspected to have an Intellectual Disability. Hence, you administer him items prior to his age-appropriate start point. Samuel answered these items incorrectly, but obtained perfect scores on his age-appropriate start point and a subsequent item. In this case, you should

John obtained scaled scores of 8 and 9 on the WISC-IV Digit Span and Letter-Number Sequencing tasks, respectively. When interpreting his WMI of 89, you should consider the Index as representing

A noninterpretable Index should be used when calculating the mean of all Indexes for use in person-relative (ipsative) analyses.

Mary obtained a VCI of 122, which is significantly higher than her other Indexes and is uncommon in the normal population. Mary's VCI is best described as a

The difference between Joseph's highest and lowest Indexes was 26 standard score points. Therefore, Joseph's FSIQ is

The GAI, rather than the FSIQ, should be used when the examinee has significantly lower scores in Processing Speed and/or Working Memory as compared to Verbal Comprehension and Perceptual Reasoning.

A child with ADHD would likely perform the best on which of the following subtests?

Historically, specific patterns on Wechsler subtests have not been effective for differentially diagnosing Intellectual Disability.

Gifted children show little variability across the four WISC-IV Indexed and, as such, these Indexes have little meaning for this population.

Administering only those subtests with the lowest cultural loadings and linguistic demands to culturally and linguistically diverse populations is not recommended because
