Accurate Solutions.
FSIQ correct answers -Most valid measure of overall cog. ability
-Consists of all 10 subtests
-No more than two substitutions allowed.
GAI correct answers -Sum scaled scores of three VC and three PR subtests
-Alternative composite score to the FSIQ; Less sensitive to working memory and processing
speed influences. (I.e. poor scores on WMI & PSI)
-No more than two substitutions allowed.
Index Scores correct answers -VCI
-PRI
-WMI
-PSI
-Only one supplemental subtest substitution is allowed per Index score.
VCI correct answers Subtests:
-Similarities
-Vocabulary
-Information
-(Comprehension)
PRI correct answers Subtests:
-Block Design
-Matrix Reasoning
-Visual Puzzles
-(Figure Weights*)
-(Picture Completion)
WMI correct answers Subtests:
-Digit Span
-Arithmetic
-(Letter-Number Sequencing*)
PSI correct answers Subtests:
-Symbol Search

-(Cancellation*)
Verbal Comprehension correct answers Index - comprehension of verbal stimuli, semantic
reasoning, communicate thoughts and ideas through words (imperative for functioning in a
modern society).
, Similarities correct answers -Measures verbal concept formation, abstract verbal reasoning,
categorical thinking, and the ability to distinguish between non-essential and essential features
Vocabulary correct answers -Measures verbal concept formation, language development, word
knowledge, requires long-term memory.
Information correct answers -Measures fund of knowledge, long-term memory and retrieval,
verbal comprehension and crystallized intelligence
Comprehension correct answers -Measures verbal conceptualization, verbal expression, practical
knowledge, social judgment, crystallized intelligence and common sense.
Perceptual Reasoning correct answers Index - Primarily fluid reasoning with some perceptual
organization
Block Design correct answers -Measures nonverbal reasoning; analysis and synthesis; visual
perception and organization; visual-motor coordination.
Matrix Reasoning correct answers -Measures fluid intelligence, visuospatial ability,
simultaneous processing and perceptual organization.
Visual Puzzles correct answers -Non-motor task that measures perceptual reasoning, visuospatial
ability, analysis and synthesis, and simultaneous processing.
Figure Weights correct answers -Measures fluid reasoning (specifically quantitative and
analogical reasoning)
Picture Completion correct answers -Measures visual perception, perceptual organization, and
attention to detail.
Working Memory correct answers -Index
-Measures attention, concentration and working memory. "can be thought of as mental control
(an executive process) involving reasonably higher-order tasks (rather than rote tasks), and it
presumes attention and concentration."
-"episodic buffer" as a crucial feature of the capacity of working memory to act as a global
workspace accessed by conscious awareness.
Digit Span correct answers -Measures working memory, attention, auditory processing, mental
manipulation.
Arithmetic correct answers -Measures working memory, mental manipulation, attention,
concentration, sequential processing, and numerical reasoning.
Letter-Number Sequencing correct answers -Measures working memory, mental manipulation,
attention, concentration, short term-auditory memory.
