Wechsler Test Wechsler Perceptual Reasoning Subtests Questions and Answers 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: The Picture Completion subtest requires examinees to do which of the following?
- Draw the missing part of a picture from memory
- Identify the single most important element missing from a presented picture (Correct answer)
- Arrange pictures into a meaningful narrative sequence
- Copy a picture exactly as shown
Correct answer: Identify the single most important element missing from a presented picture
Picture Completion requires examinees to identify the single most important element missing from an otherwise complete-looking picture within a time limit.
Question 2: In the WISC-V, the Perceptual Reasoning Index from earlier editions was replaced by which two separate indexes?
- Fluid Reasoning Index and Visual Spatial Index (Correct answer)
- General Ability Index and Cognitive Proficiency Index
- Nonverbal Index and Spatial Processing Index
- Quantitative Reasoning Index and Picture Memory Index
Correct answer: Fluid Reasoning Index and Visual Spatial Index
In the WISC-V, the Perceptual Reasoning Index was split into the Visual Spatial Index (VSI) and the Fluid Reasoning Index (FRI).
Question 3: Which two subtests compose the Visual Spatial Index (VSI) on the WISC-V?
- Matrix Reasoning and Figure Weights
- Block Design and Visual Puzzles (Correct answer)
- Picture Concepts and Picture Completion
- Symbol Search and Coding
Correct answer: Block Design and Visual Puzzles
The WISC-V VSI is composed of Block Design and Visual Puzzles as its two core subtests.
Question 4: Figure Weights was introduced as a core WISC subtest in which edition?
- WISC-III
- WISC-IV
- WISC-V (Correct answer)
- It has always been a WISC subtest
Correct answer: WISC-V
Figure Weights was a new subtest introduced in the WISC-V (2014) to help measure fluid reasoning within the new five-index structure.
Question 5: On the WAIS-IV, which subtests form the core of the Perceptual Reasoning Index (PRI)?
- Block Design, Matrix Reasoning, and Visual Puzzles (Correct answer)
- Block Design, Picture Completion, and Figure Weights
- Matrix Reasoning, Symbol Search, and Coding
- Visual Puzzles, Arithmetic, and Letter-Number Sequencing
Correct answer: Block Design, Matrix Reasoning, and Visual Puzzles
The WAIS-IV PRI core subtests are Block Design, Matrix Reasoning, and Visual Puzzles; Picture Completion and Figure Weights are supplemental.
Question 6: What is the primary clinical purpose of supplemental subtests in the Wechsler scales?
- They replace core subtests when time is limited by default
- They provide additional clinical information or substitute for invalidated core subtests (Correct answer)
- They are required for calculating the FSIQ
- They are used exclusively for gifted evaluations
Correct answer: They provide additional clinical information or substitute for invalidated core subtests
Supplemental subtests add clinical breadth and may substitute for a core subtest that was spoiled or invalidated during the administration.
