A note on the actuarial interpretation of WAIS profile patterns
1Dept. of Medical Psychiatry, University of Missouri-Columbia, Medical Center, 66201, USA.
Abstract:
The present study offers additional information on the actuarial interpretation of WAIS profile patterns. Specifically, a sample of 242 WAIS protocols was investigated for cases which met all the previously established classification criteria for a profile pattern called Cluster IV. Two cases were identified, and their unique relationships to previously delineated personality and behavioral descriptors were described. The results suggest that the Cluster IV profile pattern is stable and can be reliably associated with certain personality descriptors, and further, that age acts as a moderator variable which alters the interpretation of this pattern.
