The fact that there are examples from different ability areas in its subtests, the clarity of the interpretation and scoring criteria, and the clear, understandable and satisfactory results make this intelligence test more preferred. Wisc-r accepts intelligence as a general ability consisting of various dimensions. In the Wisc-r intelligence test, each subtest was developed to measure a different ability. Since it is accepted that there is a general intelligence that manifests itself in all subtests, it is expected that there will be meaningful relationships between the subtests. Significant deviations between the standard scores obtained from the subtests are clinical data and an experienced WISC-R practitioner can detect possible problem areas such as learning difficulties and dyslexia during the interpretation of this test.
