自1982年出版以来，包含50个条目的全国成人阅读测试(NART；Nelson，1982；NART-R；Nelson&Willison，1991)一直是临床和研究中广泛采用的估计病前智力的方法。然而，NART还没有与最近修订的韦克斯勒成人智力量表(WAIS-III；Wechsler，1997，和WAIS-IV；Wechsler，2008)进行标准化。因此，我们的目标是根据NART对WAIS-IV智商进行可靠的标准化估计。对92名神经健康的英国成年人进行了评估，并计算了回归方程，以产生WAIS-IV全量智商(FSIQ)和构成指数得分的人口估计。结果显示，NART/WAIS-IV与FSIQ有很强的相关性，而NART错误与成分指数得分之间的相关性较弱。FSIQ估计与公布的WAIS和WAIS-R估计值在分布的高端非常相似，但在较低端与高度不一致的WAIS(低)和WAIS-R(高)值的距离大致相等。我们的结论是，NART可能仍然是评估神经损伤对一般认知能力影响的重要工具。我们建议谨慎使用已发表的旧版WAIS和/或WAIS-R估计来估计发病前的WAIS-IV FSIQ，特别是对于那些NART分数较低的人。
Since publication in 1982, the 50-item National Adult Reading Test (NART; Nelson, 1982; NART-R; Nelson & Willison, 1991) has remained a widely adopted method for estimating premorbid intelligence both for clinical and research purposes. However, the NART has not been standardised against the most recent revisions of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-III; Wechsler, 1997, and WAIS-IV; Wechsler, 2008). Our objective, therefore, was to produce reliable standardised estimates of WAIS-IV IQ from the NART. Ninety-two neurologically healthy British adults were assessed and regression equations calculated to produce population estimates of WAIS-IV full-scale IQ (FSIQ) and constituent index scores. Results showed strong NART/WAIS-IV FSIQ correlations with more moderate correlations observed between NART error and constituent index scores. FSIQ estimates were closely similar to the published WAIS and WAIS-R estimates at the high end of the distribution, but at the lower end were approximately equidistant from the highly discrepant WAIS (low) and WAIS-R (high) values. We conclude that the NART is likely to remain an important tool for estimating the impact of neurological damage on general cognitive ability. We advise caution in the use of older published WAIS and/or WAIS-R estimates for estimating premorbid WAIS-IV FSIQ, particularly for those with low NART scores.
