It took a long time before Swedish psychologists got the good news from the United States. By good luck I got hold of a copy of Assessing Adolescent and Adult Intelligence at Dillons bookstore in London in 1994. In the same year, I found Intelligent Testing with the WISC-III at Barnes & Nobles in New York. A new world opened for me in my professional life. I suddenly got the knowledge of how to professionally evaluate the only important test batteries translated into Swedish, the Wechsler scales. I looked around in Sweden and I found the books nowhere.

At first I was filled with the feeling that I found a goldmine and I was the only owner. I started to dive deep into it and my self-confidence was peaking. I then started courses in the proposed methods of interpretation and the Swedish psychologists were eager to listen. Alan later on came to Uppsala University and gathered crowds of interested psychologists. I informed one of the staff at the Swedish Psychological Corporation about the event and she exclaimed: “But he is almost a legend you know.” We later also got the opportunity to listen to Dr Nadeen Kaufman in Uppsala. Her influence has continuously been very crucial both for the development of their own test instruments as well as for the development of the interpretation approach.
