The standard IQ tests of today

Today, what tests are considered standard for IQ testing purpose?

• Probably the most typical example is the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) and for Adults (WAIS). The Wechsler battery consists of twelve subtests (Vocabulary, Similarities, Information, Comprehension, Arithmetic, Digit Span, Digit Symbol, Picture Completion, Block Design, Picture Arrangement, Object Assembly and Mazes).
  
  
• ...two highly g-loaded IQ tests (e.g., the Wechsler and the Stanford-Binet).
  
  
• ...the Wechsler Full Scale IQ (a good proxy for g)...
  
  
• Several different highly g-loaded tests (e.g., Stanford-Binet, Wechsler, Raven) differ in other factors unrelated to g.
  
  
• ...the most widely used IQ tests today, such as the Stanford-Binet and Wechsler scales...
  
  
• The most frequently reported test data on secular trends are for the Raven Matrices (nonverbal) and the Wechsler (both verbal and performance scales).
  
  
• ...the mean scores on highly g-loaded tests (e.g., Raven Matrices, Wechsler, Stanford-Binet) all show secular change...
  
  
• ...the normative sample on one of the most widely used individual IQ tests for school-age children (the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised, or WISC-R)...
  
  
• ...each of the subtests of well-known batteries, such as the Wechsler Intelligence Scales, the General Aptitude Test Battery [GATB], and the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery [ASVAB]...
  
  
• This method has been applied in many studies based on almost every widely used mental test, including the Wechsler scales and the Stanford-Binet.
  
  
• As much as 50 percent or so, on average, of the subtests' variance in some well-known test batteries (e.g., the Wechsler IQ scales) consists of test specificity.
  
  
• A number of other standardized tests were similarly designed to minimize sex differences, the best known being the Wechsler Intelligence Scales.

There are several standardized IQ tests that are commonly used for testing purposes. Some of the most well-known and widely used tests include the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS), the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC), and the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales. These tests have been rigorously developed and standardized to ensure accuracy and reliability in measuring an individual's intelligence. Other tests such as the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (KABC) and the Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Abilities are also commonly used in IQ testing. It is important to note that while these tests are considered standard, they are not the only measure of intelligence and should be interpreted in conjunction with other factors such as personal experiences and cultural background.
