WAIS IQ test is the most popular intelligence assessing scale. It measures vocabulary, arithmetic and visual-spatial capabilities. It takes into account general knowledge, social awareness and short term memories as well. Psychiatrists preferably use this scale to diagnose level of mental retardation in their patients.

WAIS stands for Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale. This adult IQ test claims to classify intelligence of human beings of 16-74 years old and above. The other two Wechsler scales are used for kids and children.
