Abstract

<p>The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale goes beyond simply measuring “Full-scale IQ”. The Japanese version of the WAIS-Ⅳ, released in 2018, would calculate Five composite scores : Verbal Comprehension Index, Perceptual Reasoning Index, Working Memory Index, Processing Speed Index, and Full-Scale IQ as its total. An intelligence test was initially used to identify the presence or absence of intellectual delays, but the WAIS-Ⅳ has been developing as the understanding tool for within-individual differences assessing through its components.</p><p>Recently in some clients/patients with a variety of psychosomatic symptoms, The author assume an intelligence discrepancy that leads social adjustment problems, eventually makes physical symptoms worse as a secondary disturbance. Understanding their within-individual differences by WAIS, psychologists/clinicians can provide them with therapeutic intervention, appropriate set of tasks, and direction for social adjustment, also might help to soothe their physical symptoms and develop their coping abilities.</p>
