What is WASIWhat is WASI--II?II?
• Individually administered assessment of intelligence of examinees aged 6 through 90 years.
• Revision of Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence (WASI; Wechsler, 1999).
• Provides composite scores that estimate Verbal Comprehension and Perceptual Reasoning abilities.

What is WASIWhat is WASI--II?II?
• WASI-II is linked to WISC-IV (2003) and WAIS-IV (2008).
• WASI-II provides tables for estimating IQ score range on the WISC-IV and WAIS-IV.
• There are 4 subtests on the WASI-II: Block Design, Vocabulary, Matrix Reasoning, Similarities.

When to Use WASIWhen to Use WASI--IIII
• Obtain estimates of IQ scores rapidly and efficiently when administration of a full battery is neither feasible nor necessary.
• Screen to determine if an in-depth evaluation is necessary.
• Reevaluate individuals who previously received a comprehensive evaluation when time available for retesting is limited.

When to Use WASIWhen to Use WASI--IIII
• Obtain estimates of current cognitive functioning for individuals referred for psychiatric, psychological, or psycho- educational evaluations
• Obtain estimates of IQ scores for vocational and rehabilitation purposes
• Obtain estimates of IQ scores for research purposes, such as pre-experimental matching of cognitive ability.
NOTE: In general, the WASI–II FSIQ should not be used for legal, judicial, or quasi-legal purposes (e.g., a statutorily mandated diagnosis or determination of a disability).

Block Design (13 items)Block Design (13 items)
• The Block Design subtest is designed to measure the ability to analyze and synthesize abstract visual stimuli.
• A total of 9 items from the WASI were retained and 4 new items were added to improve the floor and ceiling of the subtest.
• While viewing a constructed model or a picture in the Stimulus Book, the examinee uses red- and-white blocks to re-create the design within a specified time limit.
![Page 18: Overview of WASI-II - Pearson Assessmentssubtests in the WISC–IV and the WAIS–IV, except that the WASI–II subtest includes low-end picture items to extend the floor of the scale](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042106/5e85a2f77fd7ed493a02ae55/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Vocabulary (31 items)Vocabulary (31 items)
• The Vocabulary subtest includes 3 picture items and 28 verbal items.
– For picture items, the examinee names the object presented visually.
– For verbal items, the examinee defines words that are presented visually and orally.
• Vocabulary is designed to measure an examinee’s word knowledge and verbal concept formation.
![Page 19: Overview of WASI-II - Pearson Assessmentssubtests in the WISC–IV and the WAIS–IV, except that the WASI–II subtest includes low-end picture items to extend the floor of the scale](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042106/5e85a2f77fd7ed493a02ae55/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

VocabularyVocabulary--ChangesChanges
• A total of 20 items were retained from the WASI, and 8 new verbal items were added.
• Art for the retained picture items was updated.
• The scoring criteria for the retained items were also revised. In addition, the starting items are now scored 2 or 0; rather than 2, 1, or 0; to reduce the chance of reversal and to shorten testing time.
![Page 20: Overview of WASI-II - Pearson Assessmentssubtests in the WISC–IV and the WAIS–IV, except that the WASI–II subtest includes low-end picture items to extend the floor of the scale](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042106/5e85a2f77fd7ed493a02ae55/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

• The subtest taps fluid intelligence, broad visual intelligence, classification and spatial ability, knowledge of part–whole relationships, simultaneous processing, and perceptual organization.
• A total of 23 items from the WASI were retained (some had minor art modifications), and 7 new items were added.
![Page 21: Overview of WASI-II - Pearson Assessmentssubtests in the WISC–IV and the WAIS–IV, except that the WASI–II subtest includes low-end picture items to extend the floor of the scale](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042106/5e85a2f77fd7ed493a02ae55/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Similarities (24 items)Similarities (24 items)• The Similarities subtest is similar to the Similarities
subtests in the WISC–IV and the WAIS–IV, except that the WASI–II subtest includes low-end picture items to extend the floor of the scale.
• For the picture items (Items 1–3), the examinee selects the option that shares a common characteristic with the target objects.
• For the verbal items (Items 4–24), the examinee is presented two words that represent common objects or concepts and describes how they are similar.
• The Similarities subtest is designed to measure verbal concept formation and reasoning.
![Page 22: Overview of WASI-II - Pearson Assessmentssubtests in the WISC–IV and the WAIS–IV, except that the WASI–II subtest includes low-end picture items to extend the floor of the scale](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042106/5e85a2f77fd7ed493a02ae55/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

SimilaritiesSimilarities––ChangesChanges• A total of 13 items from the WASI were retained
(some had minor modifications), and 11 are new.
• The scoring criteria for the retained items were revised. An instructional prompt has been added to the first two verbal items (Items 4 and 5) to ensure the examinee understands the task of the subtest (i.e., identifying similarities as opposed to defining each word).
