Data were analyzed to estimate WAIS Full Scale IQs from Quick Test scores. S s were 26 mental health center patients raning in age from 46 to 78 years (X= 58.46, SD = 8.78). In predicting WAIS Full cale IQs, Quick Test Form 3 age‐corrected and uncorrected score accounted for 66 and 70% of the variance respectively ( p < 0.001). Two‐ and three‐variable regression models did not yield meaningful increases in variance. Quick Test Form 3 is recommended when a brief measure of intellectual functioning for an aged clinical population is needed.
