An IQ test originally devised by David Wechsler in the 1950's. [Pronounced "wayce."] The original tests were also called Wechsler-Bellevue Scale, after Wechsler and his affiliation, Bellevue-Hospital. 1996 is the centennial of David Wechsler's birth, and advances in IQ testing stand as a continuing rebuke to the notion that, with intelligence, things improve over time. 5, record 1, English, - Wechsler%2DBellevue%20scale
