EVALUATION OF INTELLIGENCE SCORES AMONG STUDENTS FROM MOROCCAN URBAN AREAS

Abstract

Our study carried on Moroccan students from urban areas.Thebasis will be for calculating the full-scaleintelligence quotient FSIQ, which is positively, predicts school results, and determining the psychometric profiles of the samples participating in this study. By administering the fifteen subtests of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children -5th Edition WISC V and comparing the results to the average of the Wechsler tests. We have administered all subtests ofWISC V, an individual general intelligence test for children aged between 6 and 16 based on the g-factor since the inception of the first Wechsler test. We ensure that every student participating in this study from the city of Safi has passed all the subtests. The participants are 101 students (59 girls and42 boys) aged between 11and 15years old. The results of the samples who are urban public school students show a median of full-scale intelligence quotient, the average value of the verbal comprehension index is higher than the other four indexes of WISC V. In terms of correlations, the results show two types of relationships between the five indexes on the scale.
