HOW VALID IS THE WST FOR INTELLIGENCE ASS ESSMENT

This research is based on data from 92 psychiatric patients who were e xamined with the HAWIE-R as well as the WST. It was sought to ascertai n whether the aspect of intelligence, which is measured by means of th e WST, correlates with the intelligence quotients of the HAWIE-R. Desp ite a statistically significant correlation by the HAWIE-R and the WST respectively, earlier results which showed a higher value using a cla ssification with a short test could be confirmed for the WST. The resu lts support that premorbid intelligencelevels are established by the W ST as opposed to the HAWIE-R.
