What is the Wechsler Intelligence Scale (WISC) designed to measure?

  1. Psychopathology

  2. Personality traits

  3. A child's intellectual and cognitive ability

  4. Adult intelligence

The correct answer is: A child's intellectual and cognitive ability

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale (WISC) is specifically designed to assess and measure a child's intellectual and cognitive abilities. This includes skills such as problem-solving, reasoning, and verbal comprehension. Option A, psychopathology, is incorrect as the WISC is not used to diagnose mental disorders. Option B, personality traits, is also incorrect as the WISC does not measure personality traits but rather focuses on cognitive abilities. Option D, adult intelligence, is incorrect because the WISC is specifically designed for children and there is a separate version, the WAIS, for adults.
