Document Summary

The contents of intelligence tests: wechsler intelligence scale for children (wisc): a widely used test designed to measure the intelligence of children 6 years and older. Yields overall score and separate scores on four moderately general abilities. If iq is a consistent property of a person, then the iq scores that people obtain at different ages should be highly correlated. Although a person"s iq scores at different ages tend to be similar, the scores are rarely identical. Children who take an iq test at age 4 and again at age 17 show an average change, up or down, of 13 points: testing infants" intelligence. More difficult than measuring the intelligence of older children. Abilities that play large roles in later intelligence (language, math, logical reasoning, etc. ) are only minimally developed in infancy and therefore cannot be reliably measured at that time.
