Whenever a major intelligence or achievement test is revised, there is always renewed interest in the underlying structure of the test as well as a renewed interest in the scoring, administration, and interpretation changes. In this interview, Amy Gabel discusses the most recent revision of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children–Fifth Edition (WISC-V). She addresses issues concerning clinical use, standardization, validity, reliability, and other uses of the test as well as addresses new subtests and their use.
