THE WECHSLER INTELLIGENCE SCALE FOR CHILDREN (WISC): -> Used intelligence scale for children that provides a Full Scale IQ score as well as verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory and processing speed index scores.

THE WECHSLER PRESCHOOL AND PRIMARY SCHOOL SCALE OF INTELLIGENCE (WPPSI): -> Is heavily influenced by the latest research in cognitive abilities and development.

PSYCHOMETRIC: -> Relating to psychometry or psychometrics.

FACTOR ANALYSIS: -> a process in which the values of observed data are expressed as functions of a number of possible causes in order to find which are the most important.
