Vincent's (1979) proposal for a modified administration of the WAIS has been demonstrated ( N = 34) to be of value as a time‐saving device without sacrificing any subtest. However, Ss must obtain full credit for the first 10 items on Similarities for this procedure to be employed. A further modification of Vincent's procedure to increase the number of Ss who can be administered the shortened form is suggested and evaluated.
