ABSTRACT

Psychological tests, a specially, intelligence scales are periodically updated, but the comparative studies between the versions that consider their psychological functions are scarce. In this respect, the aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between the Perceptual Organization Index (POI) from the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Adults-III (WAIS-III) and the Perceptual Reasoning Index (PRI) from the WAIS-IV, so both subtests were administered to ten young subjects ranging from 20 to 34 years old. Among the two general indexes, a significant correlation was found (r =0,723, p = 0,018). Significant correlations between Block Design III and Figure Weights (r = 0.826, p= 0.003) and between Block Design IV and Figure Weights (r = 0.663, p = 0.037) were found. Among common subtests of the two versions, there was a not significant marginal relationship, between Matrix Reasoning III and Matrix Reasoning (r = .596, p = 0.069). Between the Object Assembly and the Visual Puzzles subtests there was no relationship. The absence of an association between Visual Puzzles and Figure Weights is discussed in terms of whether they should really be in the PRI as they do not contribute to the measurement of the indexes in study.
