• The Wechsler Adult Intelligent Scale (EIWA, Wechsler, 1967) and the WAIS-Revised (WAIS-R, 1981) were administered to a matched group of 60 university students with an average age of 19.3. The comparability of the WAIS and the WAIS-R was measured through the T test administered to paired groups. The results indicated that the intellectual quotient obtained by the students in the EIWA test were significantly greater than those in the WAIS-R. The average score of the intellectual quotient of the three Scales showed to be superior for the EIWA group who obtained a 24.8 difference in the Verbal Scale IQ (VIQ), 17 points in the performance Scale IQ (PIQ) and 22 points in the Full Scale IQ (FSIQ).
