Guidelines for Interpreting W\IS-R Subtest Scores

Joel H. Kramer University of California, San Francisco Medical Center

Tables are provided that facilitate the clinical interpretation of individual Wechsler Adult Intelli- gence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) subtest scores. Confidence intervals were computed for each possible

scaled score for each WAIS-R subtest The confidence intervals are centered around estimated true

scores and were calculated using the standard error terms for true scores. A system for converting

scores into descriptive terms is also provided.

Recognition of measurement error in psychological assess- ment has led to the publication of tables that convert an ob- tained score into a range of scores within which the examinee’s true score probably lies. Tables and formulas of this sort are currently available for use with the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) IQ scores (Brophy, 1986; Knight, 1983; Naglieri, 1982).

In addition to reporting IQs, clinicians also frequently use individual WAIS-R subtests as measures of specific cognitive abilities, such as short-term auditory memory, vocabulary, vi- suoconstruction. visual perception, and reasoning (Lezak, 1983). Responsible reporting of scores, however, requires awareness of the psychometric limitations of individual WAIS- R subtests as well as an understanding of the constructs the sub- tests purport to measure.

The purpose of this article is to provide guidelines for the interpretation of individual WAIS-R subtest scores. These guidelines rest on the premise that it is necessary to fully con- sider the effect a subtest’s reliability has on estimates of an ex- aminee’s true score and of the standard error of measurement around that score. It is known that for any given obtained score, there is a range of scores within which an examinee’s true score probably lies (Nunnally, 1980). The width of this range is in- versely related to the subtest’s reliability and directly related to the probability level the examiner wishes to use. The tables provided here are based on the view that this band of scores should be placed symmetrically around an examinee’s esti- mated true score rather than his or her obtained score (Brophy, 1986; Lord & Novik, 1968; Nunnally, 1980). The use of esti- mated true scores as the center point adjusts for measurement error by taking into consideration the reliability of the subtest.

It is also important for practitioners to have available a means for converting scores into descriptive terms. Wechsler (1981, p. 28) provided a scheme for classifying IQ scores into different

qualitative and diagnostic categories (e.g., high average or men- tally retarded). A second purpose of this article, therefore, is to adapt Wechsler’s (1981) system for use with subtest scores.

Table 1 provides the range of scores that fall one SEM below and above the estimated true score. Estimated true scores were calculated by the equation T = M + r(X – M), where T is the examinee’s estimated true score, X is the obtained score, M is the population mean score (10 in the case of WAIS-R subtests), and r is the subtest’s reliability coefficient (Nunnally, 1980). The appropriate formula for calculating the SEM around true scores

(SEMl) is SDJ[r(l – r)]” 2 where SDX is the subtest’s standard

deviation (Brophy, 1986;Dudek, 1979; Knight, 1983). This for- mula for SEM, referred to by Lord and Novik (1968) as the “standard error of estimation,” is the one recommended for es- tablishing confidence intervals; the more commonly used SEM term, SDJ.I – r)1/2, is a measure of error variance in a set of obtained scores and should not be used to estimate true score ranges (Knight, 1983). The estimated true scores and SEMs in Table 1 were calculated using the average reliability coefficients reported in the WAIS-R manual (Wechsler, 1981, p. 30).

The rows in Table 1 represent each possible obtained scaled score (1-19), and the columns represent individual subtests. Each coordinate contains the lower and upper ends of the band of scores contained within one SEMl of the estimated true score. Because the ranges are based on one SEMl, there is a 68.26% probability that the examinee’s true score fills within the range provided in Table 1 (Nunnally, 1980).

The classification scheme in Table 2 was adapted from the intelligence classifications presented by Wechsler (1981, p. 28) for IQ scores. The adaptation of the classification system was accomplished by converting the IQ ranges into standard scores (e.g., z = 0.67-1.27 = “High average”) and then by calculating the subtest scaled score equivalents of the standard scores. Wechsler’s terms for the lowest and highest scores have been replaced with less value-laden terms; Wechsler’s original terms are in parentheses. It must be emphasized that because the clas- sification scheme is typically used for comparing examinees to their age peers, only an examinee’s age-adjusted scaled scores should be used for interpretation.

As is evident in Table 1, the reliability of an individual subtest significantly affects the interpretation of a given obtained score. For example, an obtained score of 5 on Object Assembly indi-

cates a true score between 5.2 and 8.0. Considerable caution

must be exercised in interpreting such a score, because the esti-

mated true score falls within a rather broad range, from border-

line to average. In contrast, the meaning of more reliable sub-

tests such as Vocabulary can be reported with greater certainty;

an obtained score of 5 on Vocabulary indicates a true score be-

tween 4.6 and 5.8 and is in the borderline range.

The bands of scores in Table 1 are based on the average reli-

ability coefficients for the entire WMS-R standardization sam-

ple. These scores provide reasonably accurate and conservative

confidence intervals for most of the subtests across most age

groups. The subtests of the WAIS-R are least reliable for youn-

ger subjects, however. Eight of the 11 reliability coefficients for

the 16-17-year-old group were lower than the average reliability

coefficient by a margin of .04 or greater. Three subtests (Com-

prehension, Picture Completion, and Picture Arrangement) for

the 18-19-year-olds and four subtests (Comprehension, Simi-

larities, Picture Completion, and Picture Arrangement) for the

20-24-year-old group also have reliability coefficients that are

at least .04 less than the average. Among the older age groups,

only Object Assembly in the 70-74-year-old group falls that far

below the average. To provide more accurate confidence inter-

vals for these age groups, Tables 3 and 4 present bands of scores

based on the reliability coefficients for the less reliable subtests.

Tables 1 through 4 offer the practitioner guidelines for more

accurate clinical interpretation of individual subtest scores.

BRIEF REPORTS 205

Two cautionary notes concerning the use of these tables must

be emphasized, however. First, the ranges in Table 1 represent

a band of only one SEMi. This indicates that the probability of

the examinee’s true score falling within that band is 68%.

Greater degrees of confidence require broader ranges. Inter-

ested readers should use the formula T ± SEMl(z) to compute

broader ranges; z values of 1.15, 1.44, 1.64, 1.96, and 2.58 will

yield confidence intervals of 75%, 85%, 90%, 95%, and 99%,

respectively. For some of the less reliable subtests, however, use

of broader ranges will make meaningful interpretation of an in-

dividual score more difficult.

Second, even if an examinee’s estimated true score falls

within a sufficiently narrow range, interpretation is limited by

our understanding of what that particular subtest is measuring

in that particular person. Interpretation of any individual sulv

test is difficult when the specific variance of the subtest is less

than the variance shared by all of the subtests (Silverstein,

1976). Furthermore, most of the tasks represented on the

WAIS-R are heterogeneous; performance successes and failures

can be attributed to a number of different possible underlying

cognitive skills. Observation and quantification of such vari-

ables as the types of errors made and the problem-solving strate-

gies used often provide more clues about the status of an exam-

inee’s intellectual operations than does the final achievement

score (Kaplan, 1988).

The less-than-perfect reliability of Wechsler scale subtests

also has bearing on clinical assessment research. Many investi-

gators have examined the usefulness of subtest pattern analysis

for diagnosing organicity (Wechsler, 1958), Alzheimer’s disease

(Brinkman & Braun, 1984; Fuld, 1982), learning disabilities

(Hale & Saxe, 1983), emotional disturbance (Dean, 1977), and

other disorders. These efforts have met with minimal success,

however (Filley, Kobayashi, & Heaton, 1987; Matarazzo, 1972).

Considering the caution one must exercise in interpreting a sin-

gle subtest score, it is not surprising that the reliability, and

hence validity, of formulas based on multiple subtest scores will

be limited.

Client ID:

Date of Evaluation: 03/13/2006

Age: 43

Gender: Male

Education: 12

Marital Status: Single

Setting: Inpatient

The MCMI (as revised) was normed on individuals being evaluated or treated in mental health settings. Thus, the test should only be used with individuals who are in similar clinical settings for problems that are defined as psychological/psychiatric. Administering this test to people without clinical symptoms is inappropriate and will result in inaccurate descriptions of their functioning. Because this test is focused on personality disorders and clinical symptoms, the report is necessarily focused on these problematic behaviors, and cannot describe a person’s strengths and competencies.

The interpretive information contained in this report should be viewed as only one source of hypotheses about the individual being evaluated. No decisions should be based solely on the information contained in this report. This material should be integrated with all other sources of information in reaching professional decisions about this individual. This report is confidential and intended for use by qualified professionals only. It should not be released to the individual being evaluated.

Modifier Indices Configurations This patient’s response style in taking this test appeared to be open and honest and no response distortions appear evident. The results of this test are likely to be valid.

Disclosure Level (X)

This patient responded to the MCMI items by using an appropriate amount of self-disclosure, and no defensive test-taking attitudes appear evident. This suggests that the patient was cooperative with the testing process.

Desirability Gauge (Y)

This patient showed no tendency to respond to the MCMI items in a socially desirable manner. This suggests the patient may have cooperated with the testing process.

Debasement (Z)

This patient is reporting an appropriate level of behavioral, emotional, or interpersonal problems and shows no tendency to underreport or exaggerate those difficulties.

Personality Style 8A2A’

These patients display a mixture of passive compliance and obedience at one time and then oppositional and negativistic behavior the next time. They are moody, irritable, and hostile; they manifest a grumbling and pessimistic demeanor; and they are erratically and explosively angry and stubborn at one moment and feel guilty and contrite at the next moment. Disillusionment seems to permeate their lives. They feel misunderstood, so they vacillate between passive dependency and stubborn contrariness that provokes discomfort and exasperation in those around them. They expect disappointment and maintain an unstable and conflictual role in relations with others. They sulk, feel unappreciated and/or feel they are being treated unfairly, constantly complain, and are persistently petulant and discontented. They often have problems with authority and, if employed, have job difficulties.

This patient presents as socially awkward, withdrawn, introverted, and self-conscious. Because people such as this patient are hypersensitive to rejection and fear negative evaluations, they either try to maintain a good social appearance despite their underlying fear or they withdraw from social contacts. Tension, anxiety, and anger also may be present but all stemming from the same issue–a desire for social acceptance and a fear of rejection. Most often, they maintain a social distance in order to avoid any further experience of being rejected. They are devastated by perceived signs of disapproval and tend to withdraw, thus reducing the chance to enhance relationships. This circumstance results in social isolation despite a very strong need for social relatedness. These patients can put on a pleasant appearance to mask their underlying social anxiety, but they have a pervasive belief that others will be disparaging of them. Their essential conflict is a strong desire to relate but an equally strong expectation of disapproval, depreciation,

Client: Sample Test Date: 03/13/2006 ID#: Page 4

and rejection. This conflict results in keeping others at a distance but also in loneliness, isolation, and continued shyness and timidity. These people are at risk for social phobias.

Commentary: Elevations in Scale 8A are a good indicator of problems with authority and with criminal behaviors or potential for criminal behavior. Also, clinical elevations on this scale appear in a number of profile codes involving psychiatric patients. Patients with elevations on Scale 8A warrant close clinical evaluation.

Possible Diagnosis: Personality Disorder Not Otherwise Specified, Passive-Aggressive (negativistic) and Avoidant Personality Disorder.

Additional Personality Disorder Scales This section provides narrative statements covering scales that were not considered primary in the profile code. However, this section may contain important information on additional personality traits. In some cases, information in these scales may appear inconsistent or contradictory to statements made in the main report. The clinician needs to determine which statements are applicable to the individual patient.

Schizoid (1)

This patient is likely to be viewed as a wallflower. Interpersonal relationships are generally absent but, if present, they do not seem central to the patient’s personal happiness. Traits that describe scores at this level include introverted, quiet, dependent, self-sacrificing, passive, timid, and uncommunicative. Such people appear emotionally bland and even indifferent to events in their lives. These patients may lack affective expression with deficiencies in social communication. They prefer a simple life and defer to someone else in the management of their day-to-day life. They have little drive or ambition and prefer isolated activities to group involvement. If this patient is in a committed relationship, the spouse may complain about this person’s lack of affection and, perhaps, reduced interest in sex.

Depressive (2B)

This patient has reported some traits associated with a depressive personality style but not in sufficient quantity to be diagnostically significant.

Dependent (3)

This patient has mild dependency needs that seem to drive many aspects of behavior. Timidity, some withdrawal tendencies, passivity, and perhaps demureness may be part of the personality constellation. Personal needs are sometimes sacrificed in order for the patient to please others. The patient does not take a dominant role in relationships and may take on too many tasks in order to please significant others. The patient is unlikely to erupt in emotional outbursts. These traits are not at sufficient intensity to warrant a personality disorder diagnosis and are more stylistic in nature than pathological.

Client: Sample Test Date: 03/13/2006 ID#: Page 5

Histrionic (4)

This patient has high needs for attention, recognition, and praise, and has a gregarious and extroverted personality style. Rather than acting seductively, dramatically, or in a manipulative manner, which characterizes patients who score at higher levels on this scale, the patient uses a natural charm and wit to have these needs met. When the patient becomes overly demanding, it usually is with close family relationships or within a work setting. Rarely is this style a cause of interpersonal disruption.

Narcissistic (5)

This patient shows some evidence of narcissistic-like traits. It is not possible to determine exactly which ones are manifest, and a clinical interview would be needed for more exact characterization. This patient probably does have high self-esteem.

Antisocial (6A)

This patient shows some evidence of antisocial-like traits. It is not possible to determine exactly which ones are manifest, and a clinical interview would be needed for more exact characterization.

Aggressive/Sadistic (6B)

This patient shows some evidence of aggressive traits. It is not possible to determine exactly which ones are manifest, and a clinical interview would be needed for more exact characterization.

Compulsive (7)

Millon does not provide information on nor does he interpret low scale scores. However, a low score on Compulsive might suggest a lack of conformity and low impulse control.

Self-Defeating (8B)

This patient shows some evidence of self-defeating traits. It is not possible to determine exactly which ones are manifest and a clinical interview would be needed for more exact characterization.

Schizotypal (S)

This patient shows few, if any, symptoms, behaviors, or traits associated with a schizotypal personality disorder.

Borderline (C)

This patient shows some evidence of borderline traits. It is not possible to determine exactly which ones are manifest and a clinical interview would be needed for more exact characterization.

Paranoid (P)

This patient shows few, if any, symptoms, behaviors, or traits associated with a paranoid personality disorder.

Client: Sample Test Date: 03/13/2006 ID#: Page 6

Clinical Syndromes

Anxiety (A)

This patient has reported many symptoms associated with anxiety. High scores on this scale are often seen in patients who are restless, anxious, apprehensive, edgy, and jittery. These patients tend to have a variety of somatic complaints associated with physiological overarousal. These complaints could include insomnia, headaches, nausea, cold sweats, undue perspiration, clammy hands, and palpitations. These symptoms appear to be experienced by the patient at a moderate degree of intensity.

Somatoform Disorder (H)

This patient shows only mild tendencies toward somatization.

Bipolar: Manic Disorder (N)

This patient reports some manic-like symptoms. The cause may be related to substance abuse, or the patient may have a recently developed Bipolar Affective Disorder and is self-medicated with substance abuse. A closer clinical evaluation is suggested.

Dysthymic Disorder (D)

This patient is reporting many problems and symptoms associated with depression. These problems and symptoms may include apathy, social withdrawal, guilt, pessimism, low self- esteem, feelings of inadequacy and worthlessness, self-doubts, and a diminished sense of pleasure. Generally, such patients can meet their day-to-day responsibilities but continue to experience a chronic dysphoria. A diagnosis associated with depression is usually associated with scores at this level, with Dysthymic Disorder being the most prevalent diagnosis. However, this depression may be secondary to substance abuse, particularly alcoholism or alcohol abuse. A more thorough clinical evaluation is recommended to determine if there are vegetative signs of depression and to determine which disorder, depression or substance abuse, is primary.

Possible Diagnosis: Rule out Dysthymic Disorder; Rule out Alcohol Abuse or Dependence; Rule out Drug Abuse or Dependence.

Alcohol Dependence (B)

This patient has reported symptoms and traits commonly associated with alcohol abuse and/or alcohol dependence. It also is possible that the patient has endorsed personality traits often seen in patients who subsequently develop problematic drinking. It also is possible that the patient has had problems with alcohol and is in recovery. A more thorough evaluation of the patient’s drinking history, pattern and problems is recommended.

Drug Dependence (T)

This patient has reported symptoms and traits commonly associated with drug abuse and/or drug dependence. It also is possible that the patient has endorsed personality traits often seen in patients who subsequently develop problems associated with drug abuse. It also is possible that

Client: Sample Test Date: 03/13/2006 ID#: Page 7

the patient has had problems with drugs and is in recovery. A more thorough clinical evaluation should be conducted to determine the presence of any specific problems that may be associated with this condition (e.g., medical, social, legal, psychological, psychiatric, vocational, spiritual). Scores at this level almost always reflect a diagnosis associated with drug abuse.

Possible Diagnosis: Drug Abuse/Dependence.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (R)

This patient reports no symptoms associated with post-traumatic stress disorder.

Thought Disorder (SS)

This patient reports no abnormalities consistent with a thought disorder.

Major Depression (CC)

This patient is reporting some mild signs of depression, but not of sufficient severity to impair daily functioning.

Delusional Disorder (PP)

This patient reports no symptoms associated with a delusional disorder.

PSY 550 Final Project Vignette One Ms. G is a 33-year-old single, Caucasian female who was referred for an evaluation to clarify diagnostic issues and establish educational and vocational goals. Ms. G was born with spina bifida, but otherwise had no notable developmental concerns. She requires a manual wheelchair for ambulation due to her spina bifida. Ms. G never received special education or had an individualized education program (IEP). She completed two years of college but then took a leave of absence. She would like some guidance as to whether she should continue to pursue her bachelor’s degree, as the first two years of college were extremely challenging for her. She reports struggling academically and just “not fitting in” with her peers. From a mental health perspective, she has a history of being in and out of counseling. She is currently prescribed Zoloft and Xanax for depression and anxiety, respectively. She reported a fear of vomiting, and also reported generally being anxious and depressed at times. She estimated that she has been severely depressed on at least three occasions. The client reports concerns related to her inability to secure a job and not “knowing what to do.” She has noticed that she has been losing friends and is not sure why. She is hoping to gain further input around her psychological status as it relates to her anxiety, depression, and social concerns. Below are her scores from the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale – Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV) and Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory – III (MCMI-III).
