摘要

本研究根據109位台灣成人之WAIS-III資料，進行各分測驗與智商指數之施測時間估計。研究結果顯示施測組成全量表智商之11個分測驗平均需時86分鐘，施測組成四佪因素指數之11個分測驗平均需時81分鐘，若欲同時得到三個智商與四個因素指數則約需101分鐘。由於本研究主試者在語文分測驗中追問與記錄極為詳細，上述數據應可合理視為一般大眾所需平均施測時間之上限。研究結果同時指出受測者之智力與教育程度對施測時間長短有影響，智商在89分以下受試平均約需76,67與82分鐘便完成全量表智商、四個因素指數、或包含二者之十三個分測驗之施測。文中提供詳細統計數據供讀者參考，並對結果之應用性以及對未來研究之方向提出建議。

This paper reports estimated administration times for each of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale- Third Edition (WAIS-III) subtests and indexes using a sample of 109 normal Taiwan adults. The II subtests that yield the Verbal, Performance, and Full scale IQs averaged approximately 86 minutes. The 11 subtests that yield the Verbal Comprehention, Perceptual Organization, Working Memory , and Processing Speed Indexes averaged approximately 81 minutes. The 13 subtests that yield both the IQ and Indexes averaged approximately 101 minutes. Results indicated that the time
estimates vary widely between subjects, and subjects with lower ability levels or with less education history require less administration time than other subjects. On the average , subjects with IQ lower than 89 need only 76, 67, and 82 minutes to complete subtests which group three IQs, four Indexes, and both. Possible explanations and applications were discussed and suggestions were made for future studies.
