    Anxiety levels did not impact Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) scores. However, individuals generally scored higher when the WAIS was administered by a human examiner compared to a machine.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Psychometrics

    Background:

    • Anxiety can influence cognitive test performance.
    • The administration method of intelligence tests may affect scores.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effect of anxiety levels on Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) scores.
    • To compare WAIS performance when administered by a human examiner versus a machine.

    Main Methods:

    • 40 participants were divided into high and low anxiety groups using the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale.
    • Each participant completed half of the WAIS verbal scale administered by a trained examiner and half by machine.
    • A 2x2x2 factorial analysis of variance was used to analyze the data.

    Main Results:

    • No significant differences in WAIS scores were found between high and low anxiety groups.

  • No significant differences were observed between male and female participants.
  • Participants scored significantly higher when the WAIS was administered by an examiner compared to a machine, except for the Information and Arithmetic subtests.

    • Conclusions:

    • Anxiety levels do not appear to significantly affect overall WAIS verbal scale performance.
    • The method of test administration (human examiner vs. machine) has a significant impact on WAIS scores.
    • Future research should explore subtest-specific differences in administration effects.
