This workshop will explore the theory and use of ability tests in clinical settings. The psychological concept of intelligence will be critically considered. Attendees will learn the principles of ability testing and gain hands on experience of administration and interpretation of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scales and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children. The meaning of results obtained from such tests and their reliability will be discussed.
This workshop focuses on ability measures, in particular the use of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-IV. It is one of three workshops intended to build the skills of psychologists working in clinical settings to an advanced level in the administration and interpretation of Wechsler tests. Other tests will be discussed in a contrast and compare style so attendees will have a clear view of psychometric measures available for use.
This workshop will be particularly useful for those psychologists at the end of their accredited training or post qualified who have not had the opportunity to engage in psychometric training. This will be a combination of both theory and hands on practice so attendees will be able to take their learning back to their workplace.
