Wechsler Intelligence Scale: How Does It Work?

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale, developed by David Wechsler in 1939, was initially designed for adults and later adapted for children and adolescents. It assesses cognitive abilities through separate measures of Verbal IQ and Performance IQ, allowing for a more balanced evaluation of both language-based reasoning and nonverbal problem-solving skills.

The Wechsler Intelligence Scales pioneered the use of standardized normal distribution for IQ scoring, ensuring a more accurate representation of cognitive ability across the population. Modern refinements enhance precision, with scores following a bell curve—about 95% of individuals worldwide falling between 70 and 130, reflecting typical intellectual variation.
