Individually administered test for assessing cognitive abilities in adults from age 16 years 0 months to 90 years 11 months. 4 scales that assess verbal and non-verbal functioning. Composite score to represent general intellectual ability (full scale iq) Not measuring for diagnosis but informing about yourself. * = if we want more info, or to replace bc e. g broken arm, etc. as an additional measure. Measure ability of conceptual things - help form case conceptualization. Those w/ insight have an easier time looking at constructs. 2: any major classi cation that is pertinent for both members of the item pair. 1: speci c property or major classi cation that constitutes a minor or less pertinent similarity. 0: property that is not pertinent to both members, or is too general; clearly incorrect response. Anchor & fence: safety, keep you from leaving. Plagiarize: present someone else"s work as one"s own. Take w/ a grain of salt bc not necessarily a great component.
