What is the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) primarily used to measure?

Children's language development
Adult and adolescent intelligence
Physical fitness levels
Career readiness and job aptitude

The correct answer is: Adult and adolescent intelligence

The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) is specifically designed to assess the cognitive abilities and intellectual functioning of adults and older adolescents. It measures various aspects of intelligence, including verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed. This multifaceted approach provides a comprehensive evaluation of an individual's intellectual potential, making it a widely used tool in psychological testing, clinical assessments, and educational settings for adults. The other options, while they encompass relevant areas of developmental and vocational assessment, do not align with the primary purpose of the WAIS, which focuses exclusively on measuring intellectual capabilities rather than children's language development, physical fitness, or career readiness.
