Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-R)

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) is an IQ test for children 6-17 years of age to determine general intelligence. It generates a full scale IQ (formerly known as an intelligence quotient or IQ score) that represents a child's general intellectual ability. The most common primary index scores are the Verbal Comprehension Index, the Visual Spatial Index, the Fluid Reasoning Index, the Working Memory Index, and the Processing Speed Index. These indices represent a child's abilities in discrete cognitive domains. Five ancillary composite scores can be derived from various combinations of primary or primary and secondary subtests. Different versions may contain different sub tests.

In TRAILS, the subtests block design and vocabulary were used.
