Question: What is the Leiter Adult Intelligence Scale (LAIS)?

Answer: The Leiter Adult Intelligence Scale is ideally suited for intelligence measurement in all individuals over the age of 18. It is especially useful at the lower and upper ends of the socio-economic hierarchy. Excellent for disability discrimination, as it does not overate the cognitive and physical capacities of the psychologically-disabled.

Verbal scales are:

• Similarities/Differences
• Digits Forward/Backward
• Free/Controlled Recall

Nonverbal scales are:

• Pathways (following a prescribed sequence)
• Stencil Design
• Painted Cube Test (duplication of designs)
