As the use of the HAWIE complete form within the framework of conducting a forensic examination and producing an expert report seemed too extravagant to us, by means of using statistical procedures, we developed a short form consisting of the four sub-tests General Information (AW), Digit Span (ZN), Similarities (GF), and Block Design (MT), which correlated to the power of the long form (rxy = 0.905). 300 HAWIE reports by Ss, which were examined for forensic expert report purposes, served as our basis. Our new test form is to be recommended because of its great time saving factor (about 60%), especially when the question at issue within the framework of a forensic expert report is ability to feel guilt, credibility and fitness for questioning, and the general intellectual performance is to be globally determined. Advantages of our short form are economy, specific representativity and high multiple validity; it provides an ideal measuring instrument for investigators and experts.
The Information Inventory (II), a short intelligence test for screening purposes, was compared to the Quick Test via administration to 111 adults for whom WAIS-Rs were available. The II was found to be equivalent or superior to the Quick Test with regard to psychometric properties and pragmatic considerations. The II had a mean like that of the WAIS-R; the QT was biased toward low IQs.
As part of comprehensive psychoeducational assessment procedures, the Quick Test of Intelligence, Test of Nonverbal Intelligence, and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised were administered to 89 children and youth, who varied in age from 6-4 to 16-10. The sample consisted of 61 males and 28 females, of whom 37 were Black and 52 White. Regression equations were computed that used the WISC-R Full Scale IQ as criteria and the TONI and QT as predictors. The results clearly indicated that the TONI and QT are equally good predictors of the WISC-R FSIQ. Implications for the clinician are discussed.
