摘要
The WAIS is one of the most widely used means for assessing intelligence, yet data on test-retest reliability are scarce. The test-retest IQs of 50 psychiatric patients (mean age 44 yrs) were correlated. The patients were not from any specific diagnostic group. They were included in the sample only because they had been given the WAIS before. The interval between test and retest averaged almost 2 yrs. All test-retest correlations were .90 or over.
