Despite the doubt surrounding shorter IQ tests, the WRIT and many similar tests—including the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence (WASI)—have a high correlation with full-length IQ test results. The WRIT is widely used for screening purposes, especially in preschool- and school-aged children. Although the WRIT likely suffers some loss due to its shorter length, the test is considered an effective indicator of general intelligence. Many experts also agree that the test would benefit from more extensive standardization research due to limitations in its initial trials.
