Name: Vocabulary task of WAIS-III
Definition: Tell the examiner what certain words mean. For example: chair (easy), hesitant (medium), presumptuous (hard). (33 words)

Name: Similarities task
Definition: Say what two words have in common.
Context: WAIS-III
Example: For example: In what way are an apple and a pear alike?
Example2: In what way are a painting and a symphony alike?

Name: Informations of WAIS-III
Definition: General knowledge questions covering people, places, and events. (28 questions)
Example: How many days are in a week? What is the capital of France? Name three oceans. Who wrote Inferno?

Name: Comprehension test of WAIS-III
Definition: Questions about everyday-life problems, aspects of society, and proverbs. (18 questions)
Example: Tell me some reasons why we put food in a refrigerator.
Example2: Why do people require driving licences?
Example3: What does it mean to say ‘a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush’?

Name: Picture completion test of WAIS-III
Definition: Spot the missing element in a series of colour drawings. (25 drawings)
Example: that spokes are missing from one wheel in a picture of a bicycle; that one buttonhole is missing from a jacket in a picture of a person. As in the earlier tests in the collection, the questions become progressively more difficult.

Name: Block design test of WAIS-III
Definition: After looking at two-dimensional patterns made up of red and white squares and triangles, you have to reproduce these patterns using cubes with red and white faces. (14 patterns)

Name: Matrix reasonning of WAIS-III
Definition: Find the missing element in a pattern that is built up in a logical manner.

Name: Arithmetic of WAIS-III
Definition: Mental arithmetic problems. (20 questions)

Name: Digit span test of WAIS-III
Definition: Repeating a sequence of numbers to the examiner. Sequences run from 2 to 9 numbers in length. (maximum of 16 forward and 14 reversed sequences)
Example: An easy example is to repeat 3 -7 -4 ; harder is 3 - 9 - 1 - 7 - 4 -5 - 3 - 9 . In the second part of this test the sequences must be repeated in reverse order

Name: Letter-number sequencing test of WAIS-III
Definition: The examiner reads a series of alternate letters and numbers. You must repeat them, putting the numbers first and in numerical order, followed by the letters in alphabetical order. (maximum of 21 trials).
Example: For example, you would repeat ‘W -4-G -8 -L-3’ as ‘3 -4 -8 -G -L -W'

Name: Digit-symbol coding test of WAIS-III
Definition: You write down the number that corresponds to a given symbol. (as many as you can in go seconds).

Name: Symbol search test of WAIS-III
Definition: You identify from a list of abstract symbols which symbol in a given pair is contained in the list (as many as you can in 2 minutes).

Question: What are the correlation between two tests of WAIS-III ?
Answer: Between 0.3 and 0.8
