We determined WASI-II reliability for 100 outpatients with neurological, psychiatric, or developmental disorders. Means for age and education were 47.95 years (SD = 17.86) and 13.57 years (SD = 2.39). The design involved a total sample divided into neurological (n = 41) and psychiatric (n = 53) subgroups. Developmental disorders were included only in the total sample analyses (n = 6). Subtest split-half reliabilities ranged from .95 for Matrix Reasoning to .83 for Similarities. VCI, PRI, and FSIQ coefficients ranged from .91 to .97, .95 to .97, and .95 to .97. Omega (h) statistics, after controlling a general factor, were .408 and .365 for VCI and PRI. Support for WASI-II construct validity were also presented.

Classifying Matter by Composition
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures.
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated.
A mixture is composed of two or...
