| Abstract: | This article focuses on the Henmon-Nelson Test of Mental Ability and Slosson Intelligence Tests as predictors of Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) intelligence quotient. Time limitations usually prohibit the routine use of the WAIS-R in institutional settings. The Henmon-Nelson is a 90-question, 30-minute, multiple-choice, timed group test. Its questions reflect vocabulary, arithmetic, and concept-formulation skills. The Slosson is an individually administered test. Its items measure vocabulary, verbal conceptualization, arithmetic, general information, short-term memory, and figure-drawing skills. The WAIS-R, Henmon-Nelson, and Slosson tests were administered to 90 new admissions/readmissions, all male volunteers under 70, at the St. Cloud, Minnesota, Veterans Administration Medical Center. The subjects' primary staff diagnoses were alcohol and/or chemical dependency or abuse, affective disorder, schizo-affective disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety disorder and adjustment disorder. |
