This article focuses on the prediction of Wechsler Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) scores from the Shipley Institute of Living Scale (SILS) in a homogeneous sample. The SILS is a well-known intelligence quotient (IQ) screening device. The SILS is the only brief self-administered measure originally designed to identify organic brain syndrome in psychiatric patients to have survived obsolescence. The predictive validity of the SILS and the WAIS and other measures of intelligence has been explored in numerous studies. Unfortunately, results have been conflicting, and a number of qualifications on the interpretability of the SILS have been suggested. Using the SILS as an estimate of WAIS-R full scale scores is obviously inappropriate because the relationship between these two measures is virtually unknown. To date, there has been one study that specifically attempted to describe the relationship between the SILS and the WAIS-R.
