The accuracy you expect.The efficiency you need.
Today’s leading brief cognitive measure has been revised. Like its predecessor, the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence®, Second Edition
(WASI®–II) hits the mark as a short, accurate, reliable measure of verbal, nonverbal, and general cognitive ability.
For use in clinical, educational, and research settings, the WASI–II maintains the structure of the WASI, while offering new content and improvements to provide greater utility and efficiency.

The strengthened connections between the WASI–II and the comprehensive
Wechsler intelligence scales result in a stronger empirical foundation for using the instruments together and offer practical benefits that help you save time. The WASI–II subtests and items more closely parallel the WISC–IV and
WAIS–IV, and linking studies have been conducted to establish equivalency and to improve comparability with the comprehensive Wechsler scales’ composite scores.
