In the complete WAIS, each subtest contains a large series of items arranged in order of increasing difficulty.

We’ll provide two samples for each subtest: an easy item and a more difficult item. Please note that none of these sample items is actually used on the WAIS.

We’ll begin with the VERBAL SUBTESTS. Don’t worry too much about how well you do on these questions: this small sample of items would not be considered a valid test of your intelligence, so we won’t even give you a score at the end.
