While, these days, I mostly use the WJ-IV, I have always enjoyed using the DAS-II for those children in populations mentioned by Liz in this presentation. It is extremely child friendly! I was looking forward to upgrading to the NU edition but was disappointed to find that Pearson Australia will not be selling it. This would seem to be purely a commercial decision: AFAIK, Pearson Australia has never developed Australian norms for it (so I never use it for the purpose of a clinical diagnosis, say, for funding). I would hate to abandon it.
Especially love the career choices linked to each indexes, which made the results session much more helpful and useful to the clients. Love it love it!! I have already incorporated this type of info in explaining data for WISC-5 for kids and their parents. They all are very appreciative.
There is no consensus about how to define intelligence nor is it universally accepted that it is something that can be meaningfuly measured by a single figure. Different societies value and promote different kinds of skills (see cultural relativism), the concept of intelligence is therefore culturally variable and can not be measured by the same criteria in different societies. Furthermore, the difference in intelligence between people in an ethnic group is greater than the average scores between the different ethnic groups (see qualia). Meaning: The intelligence of all populations is largely the same. Consequently, it makes no sense to propose relationships between intelligence and any other variables.
The original version have to use the Caldwell scoring method validity scales for fake bad fake good, narcissism scale. But it wasn't intended to look at high scales and say 3 high this is a histrionic but may represent some somatiazation.
Still waiting on a more practical way to administer IQ tests remotely without sacrificing certain index scores. Is there something coming soon that makes administering these tests via Q-Global simpler?
Dr. Grossman, neither the manual nor your presentation addresses the diagnostic and interpretive confusion when trying to define the difference between BR scores 1-59, 60-74, 75-84, and 85-115. The manual implies on page 41 that BR scores below 60 are "relatively functional." Does this mean the same thing as "normal"? In your slide show at 25:49 you state that BR scores in the "style" range are "normal style." BR scores above 60 are elevated but nowhere in the manual or your presentation do you describe what "normal style" means. It is useless to have an undefined term being used that attempts to demarcate a standardized cutoff that literally tells us nothing about the examinee's score or how to interpret it. What do you suggest I write in my report: "Examinee obtained a BR score 62 on the SPHistr scale which means they have a "normal style" or "perhaps some of the histrionic traits are present which may be problematic" Why have the STYLE range if it can mean NORMAL and ABNORMAL especially when you refer to the TYPE range as ABNORMAL.
Your evaluation of CRPS patient shows virtually no understanding of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome as a disease. You even mistakenly call it CHRONIC Regional Pain Syndrome. You cannot compare pain of a patient with CRPS in arm to other patients with arm pain from other causes. CRPS can spread from one region to another. You cannot assume her headaches were stress headaches without understanding CRPS as a disease. Your reasoning is very simplistic for a complex disease and results in bogus outcome predictions. Has this instrument been scientifically validated?
Thank god all those years of hard work from numerous people are being rewarded by uploading things like this and ensuring anyone and everyone can once again achieve a truly invalid performance on the day of their appointment!
Unfortunately a lot of people practise.especially matrix reasoning every one does it on line so I don't think it's valid to have on the wais.personaly I think national iq test on TV was a very clever construct of testing iq.Even the 1% club on TV right now seems to be a very clever way of measuring intelligence.
Thats without doubt the worst mic , i heard in my entire life on any course . Sounds like a recived phone call from an old telephone booth in africa in the middle of nowhere .
