Publisher's Synopsis
""The Measurement of Adult Intelligence"" is a book written by David Wechsler that explores the concept of intelligence testing in adults. Wechsler presents his own approach to measuring intelligence, which he calls the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS). The book covers the history of intelligence testing, the theoretical foundations of intelligence, and the practical applications of intelligence testing in various settings, such as clinical psychology, education, and occupational selection. Wechsler's approach to intelligence testing emphasizes the importance of assessing multiple cognitive abilities, such as verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed, rather than relying on a single measure of intelligence. The book provides detailed descriptions of the various subtests included in the WAIS, along with guidelines for administering and interpreting the test results. Overall, ""The Measurement of Adult Intelligence"" is a comprehensive and influential work that has had a significant impact on the field of psychology and intelligence testing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
