¶ … Client Performance on Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-III)
The Full Scale Intelligence Quotient (FSIQ) for this client is 102, a score that is considered to be in the Average range. The Verbal IQ (VIQ) is 111 and the Performance IQ (PIQ) is 90. The client's 21-point score difference between the VIQ and the PIQ is significant, which means that the full-scale IQ score does not represent the client's abilities as well as the VIQ and the PIQ do individually. The client exhibits High Average verbal skills and performance skills that fall into the low end of the Average classification. The client is unlikely to be proficient in tasks that require visual-spatial coordination, and may experience non-verbal reasoning as a bit more difficult than verbal reasoning. Attention to detail in non-verbal tasks or activities may be somewhat lacking.
The client performed in the Average range on the Verbal Comprehensive Index score with a score of 109. The client also performed in the average range on the Perceptual Organization Index, attaining a score of 109. The client's performance on the POI is a measure of nonverbal reasoning skills, eye-hand coordination, and attentiveness to detail. The client performed in the Low Average range on the Working memory index. The client's...
The client's performance on the Processing Speed Index score is also in the Low Average range. The score of 86 gives one measure of how well visual information is quickly processed.
The client's subtest scaled scores show considerable variability compared to age-related peers. High Average scores were obtained by the client for Vocabulary, and Comprehensive in the Verbal Subtests, and on Picture Completion and Matrix Reasoning in the Performance Subtests. The client obtained Average scores for Similarities, Information, Arithmetic, and Digit Span in the Verbal Subtests, and on Picture Arrangement, Block Design, and Coding (Digit Symbol) in the Performance Subtests. Low Average scores were obtained by the client for Letter-Number Sequencing in the Verbal Subtests, and on Symbol Search in the Performance Subtests. This client is comfortable approaching activities and problem solving tasks from a perspective that relies highly on her verbal skills. The client may not prefer to multitask, a variable that can influence performance in tests that measure this capacity.
Since the WAIS-III IQ and Index scores are the most reliable scores for both test-retest and internal consistency. For the WAIS-III Subtests, more…

Client Background/History: Behavioral Observations: Test Results Intellectual Testing: The client produced a Full Scale IQ score in the Average Range of intellectual functioning (FSIQ = 102). The results indicate that his Full Scale IQ score is at the 55th percentile compared to his peers (Wechsler, 1997). The client also produced a significant discrepancy on measures of his verbal and nonverbal intellectual skills in favor of his verbal abilities, although both were in the
Wechsler Memory Scale-Third Edition (WMS-III) This is a paper that reports and critiques the Wechsler Memory Scale-Third Edition (WMS-III). It has sources in APA format. Standardized testing has become a norm for structuring studies on human behaviors. Studies on cognitive abilities, performance, behavior pattern as well as memory testing all have a great deal of dependence on the choice of the kind of tests adopted and the validity of the test is

In other words Emotional Intelligence means that the individual is capable of: (1) Accurately perceiving emotions in oneself and others; (2) Uses emotions to facilitate thinking; (3) Understands emotional meanings; and (4) Manages emotions well. This model is referred to as the 'ability' model of emotional intelligence. (Mayer & Salovey, 1997) DANIEL GOLEMAN-PERSONAL & SOCIAL COMPETENCE Daniel Goleman proposed the model of emotional intelligence based on the Personal and Social competencies
Furthermore, people change over time as a result of experience. Thus, the MBTI may capture one's current state, but can not predict one's state in the future. The MBTI is currently the fourth most frequently used standardized test in community-based treatment settings. The test is intended for subjects 14 years and older. Versions adapted for other countries have been developed. The test administrator must have a college degree and have
