Can FSIQ be lower than the index scores?
In this case, if the student’s true IQ is 57, then his or her index scores should be higher than 57 due to the effect of regression toward the mean. If a student’s FSIQ is 147, there is a greater probability that his or her index scores will be lower than the FSIQ.
What is the difference between full scale IQ and general ability index?
The General Ability Index (GAI) provides an estimate of intellectual functioning that is less influenced by working memory and processing speed than a Full Scale IQ (FSIQ).
What does an average FSIQ mean?
FSIQ test is conducted between 60 and 80 minutes, in total. Some children may take longer, if the supplemental subtests are given. FSIQ results can range from 40 being the lowest and 160 being the highest. The average mean score is typically 100.
How do you find your FSIQ?
The FSIQ is calculated as the sum of all scaled scores for three items on the Verbal Index and Perceptual Reasoning Index each and two items from the Working Memory Index and Processing Speed Index, usually the most ‘g’ loaded. Calculated as 25+ (sum of scaled scores) * .
When should you not use FSIQ?
Flanagan and Kaufman (2004), in Essentials of WISC-IV Assessment, deem the FSIQ “not interpretable” if Composite scores vary by 23 points (1.5 standard deviations) or more. The GAI utilizes only scores from the Verbal Comprehension and Perceptual Reasoning Composites, not Working Memory and Processing Speed.
How is FSIQ calculated?
The FSIQ is determined by the sum of the scaled scores from the 10 subtests of the WISC (each subtest’s scaled score can range from 1-19, higher if extended norms are used; the scaled scores are NOT the same as the composite scores that have a mean of 100).

What are FSIQ scores?
A Composite Score that represents a child’s overall intellectual ability (FSIQ)…Ability Classification of WISC-V.
| Standard Scores | Qualitative Descriptions | Percent of Cases |
|---|---|---|
| 120 – 129 | Very High | 6.7 \% |
| 110 – 119 | High Average | 16.1 \% |
| 90 – 109 | Average | 50 \% |
| 80 – 89 | Low Average | 16.1 \% |
What is a ‘standard IQ score’?
Standardized IQ tests are designed so that the average (mean) IQ score in the general population is 100. An ‘ average IQ score’ or ‘normal IQ score’ can be defined as a score between 85 and 115 – that is, between plus and minus one standard deviation from the average. What is a High IQ Score?

What does it mean if my IQ is in the range?
This range shows you that your score may vary within this IQ scale, due to error of measurement and because circumstances under which you take a test might be of influence. The average IQ score is always 100, and your personal score tells you your IQ ranking compared to that.
What is the average IQ of a person in America?
Most scores are somewhere between 85 and 115. Those scores are considered the “average” or normal intelligence range. The farther the score is from 100, the fewer people we will find with that score.
Are IQ test scores percentiles or percentiles?
IQ test scores are often expressed in percentiles, which is not the same as percentage scores, and a common reason for the misunderstanding of IQ test scores. A percentage refers to the number of items that a person answers correctly compared to the total number of items presented.
