For the present Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children – Third edition (WISC-III) is the only one standardizated and adopted method for assessment of children’s intellectual ability from 6 till 16 years in Lithuania. This newest addition to the Wechsler family meets WASI method. It demand for a reliable, brief measure of common intellectual ability, verbal and nonverbal ability settings for ages 6 to 89 years. AT the present moment there are the process of standardization and adaptation of this method in Lithuania. The aim of study was to compare the results of primary school pupils’ intellectual ability received assessing by using WISC-III LT and WASI and identified if WASI method measure the same intellectual ability as WISC-III LT. The subjects of the study were 30 pupils: 13 boys and 17 girls living in the district of Akmenė. The investigation had two stages: 16 children were assessment by WISC-III LT on the first stage and by WASI on the second stage; 14 respondents were assessment by WASI on the first stage and by WISC-III LT on the second one. The results of the study showed that there is statistical meaningful correlation between Common IQ assessed by WISC-III LT and WASI. The results also showed that there is statistical meaningful correlation between Common IQ by WISC-III and WASI and Subtests of WISC-III LT and WASI, but not statistical meaningful correlation between Exposition of Pictures and Search of Symbol and Common IQ assessing by WASI. There is statistical meaningful correlation between WISC-III and WASI Verbal IQ. The correlation between Subtests of Verbal Scales by WISC-III and WASI is statistical meaningful, except Subtest of Information (WISC-III LT), but there is statistical meaningful correlation between Subtest of Information and WASI Common IQ. So it’s possible to predicate that all Verbal Subtest are assessed the same – Verbal IQ. There is statistical meaningful correlation between WISC-III LT and WASI Nonverbal IQ. The results of study showed that there is statistical meaningful correlation between Subtests of Nonverbal Scales and Nonverbal IQ of WISC-III LT and WASY, except the Subtest of Pictures Finishing (WISC-III LT) and Subtest of Coding (WISC-III LT) which correlation with WISC-III LT Nonverbal IQ isn’t statistical meaningful. But Subtest of Pictures Finishing and WASI Nonverbal IQ is statistical meaningful. Subtest of Coding don’t have correlation with WASI Common IQ. The results showed that WISC-III LT and WASI intellectual tests measure the same common intellectual ability, verbal and nonverbal ability. There is not statistical meaningful correlation between intellectual ability and social – demographic data. |
