Scale Scaled Scores Score Rank Interval Description
Verbal Comprehension 20 VCI 81 10 76-87 Low Average
Perceptual Reasoning 26 PRI 92 30 86-99 Average
Working Memory 18 WMI 95 37 89-102 Average
Processing Speed 26 PSI 117 87 107-124 High Average
General Ability 46 GAI 84 14 80-89 Low Average
Full Scale 90 FSIQ 93 32 89-97 Average
The GAI is an optional composite summary score that is less sensitive to the influence of working memory and processing
speed. Because working memory and processing speed are vital to a comprehensive evaluation of cognitive ability, it should be
noted that the GAI does not have the breadth of construct coverage as the FSIQ.
