Extract

In adult intelligence testing the Wechsler-Bellevue Intelligence Test is increasingly used and is gradually taking the place of the Terman-Merrill. Not only is its verbal part better adapted to adult life, but it has the added advantage of being at once a verbal and a performance test. A comparison of a subject's achievements in the two parts of the test often shows where his strength and weakness lie, and so sometimes affords a clue to difficulties which he may experience in his work or otherwise without being aware of their cause.
