    The Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence – Second Edition (WASI-II) is a brief, individually administered measure of cognitive ability for individuals aged 6 to 90. It can be administered in 15-30 minutes and includes four subtests: Vocabulary, Similarities, Block Design, and Matrix Reasoning. The four-subtest form provides estimates of Full Scale IQ, verbal comprehension index, and perceptual reasoning index. The two-subtest form provides an estimate of Full Scale IQ from the Vocabulary and Matrix Reasoning subtests. The WASI-II is a reliable tool for screening intellectual giftedness or disabilities and determining if further assessment is needed.

    Cognitive Evaluation: Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence Second Edition

    (WASI-II)
    Overview
    The Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence Second Edition (WASI-II; Wechsler, 2011) is an individually
    administered, brief, reliable measure of cognitive ability for clinical, educational, and research settings. Flexible
    administration offers the opportunity to include either two or four subtests designed to be used with individuals aged 6
    to 90. The purposes of the WASI-II include screening for intellectual giftedness or disabilities; determining if in-depth
    assessment is needed; reassessing; and estimating Full Scale IQ scores. Subtests include Vocabulary, Block Design,
    Similarities, and Matrix Reasoning, and these subtests mirror content from the WISC-IV and WAIS-IV. The four-subtest
    form yields three scores: FSIQ, general cognitive ability; VSI, crystallized abilities; and PIQ, nonverbal fluid abilities and
    visuomotor/coordination. The two-subtest form yields a FSIQ-2 score, which is an estimate of general cognitive ability.
