Individually administered in just 20 to 30 minutes, this efficient intelligence test yields a Verbal Reasoning IQ, a Visual Reasoning IQ, and a Composite IQ. Appropriate for use with people from 4 to 85 years of age, the WRIT was co-normed with the Wide Range Achievement Test to help psychologists make valid comparisons between intellectual and academic functioning. |
|
The WRIT is composed of four subtests, selected for their historically high loadings on Spearman's "g" factor. Two of the subtests assess verbal-crystallized abilities, which are more dependent on acquired knowledge, and two measure nonverbal-fluid abilities, which are environmentally and culturally reduced: |
|
|
|
Verbal-Crystallized Abilities |
- Vocabulary (a traditional word definition task)
- Verbal Analogies (a fast-paced verbal-reasoning task)
|
|
Nonverbal-Fluid Abilities |
- Visual Matrices (a traditional matrix task assessing visual-spatial reasoning and abstract visual-perceptual relationships)
- Diamonds (a spatial constructional task using diamond-shaped chips to duplicate two- and three- dimensional figures)

Normed on a national sample of 2,285 people, the WRIT provides scaled scores, percentiles, and age equivalents, in addition to the Verbal, Visual, and Composite IQs. |
|
Colorful, engaging, and easy to administer, this test offers high psychometric standards in an efficient, user-friendly package. |
