WISC can be used to show discrepancies between a child's intelligence and
his/her performance at school (and it is this discrepancy that school
psychologists look for when using this test). In a clinical setting, learning
disabilities can be diagnosed through a comparison of intelligence scores and
scores on an achievement test, such as the Woodcock Johnson III or Wechsler
Individual Achievement Test II. If a child's achievement is below what would be
expected given their level of intellectual functioning (as derived from an IQ
test such as the WISC-IV), then a learning disability may be present. Other
psychologists and researchers believe that the WISC can be used to understand
the complexities of the human mind by examining each subtest and can, indeed,
help in diagnosing learning disabilities.<br></div>
