The WAIS is an acronym for the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale,
currently in its 3rd edition; hence, the correct designation is
WAIS-III.  This IQ test is sold through The Psychological Corporation
and is part of the Wechsler series which includes the WISC-III
(Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-3rd Edition) and the
WPPSI-III (Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence-3rd
edition).  The tests are named after the founder of the series, David
Wechsler.

All versions consists of a variety of subtests measuring various
aspects of intelligence and the tests are used by trained
psychologists to assess cognitive function.  The answers would only be
availabe by purchasing the test kit and Psych. Corp. will only sell to
individuals appropriately trained in its use and interpretation.

I'm a psychologist. I've administered this test and others like it
many times. I'm not going to tell you how to find out the correct
answers. It's possible that they're listed on the www somewhere, but I
doubt it, because the questions and answers are copyrighted and the
owners would vigorously protect their intilletectual property.

I will tell you that it's hard to imagine how you would benefit from
knowing the answers. The IQ score predicts with moderate accuracy how
well you will perform in academically demanding situations like work
or school. An overly optimistic prediction (a high score resulting
from cheating) might open some opportunity that would otherwise be
closed to you. But, because the score was artificially high, you have
a much higher than average chance of failing anyway. Better to conform
your aspirations to your abilities.

I might add that many studies have shown that preparation or study for
this kind of test doesn't actually improve your score much, because it
takes a high IQ to understand and remember the large number of correct
answers.

Good luck,

BVT
