Abstract

Short forms of the WAIS-R provide a relatively quick screen of an individual's general cognitive ability. This study attempted to measure the merit of three WAIS-R short forms developed by Kaufman (1990) in a group of 114 chronic schizophrenic patients. The results suggest that the four-subtest short form provided the most reliable estimation of Full Scale IQ. The implications of these findings for research screening of schizophrenic patients is discussed.
