Why is the answer derived from an algorithm not the same as an average for example IQ scores are not an average of the subtest scores but a score derived from an algorithm?

it is obvious the average is not by just one person it is by a group of people so you need to ask a group of people what their IQ is and add them all up then divide them by the number you used

What does a below average score on block design mean?
A below average score on Block Design means that the individual scored below his same-aged peers on this particular subtest. Block Design measures a combination of two cognitive factors (according to some who subscribe to CHC theory), Gf and Gv. Gf is basically problem solving skills. Gv is basically visual processing skills.
Which scale in WAIS- III is the most stable measure of intelligence?
The vocabulary subtest: The ability to define words is not only one of the best single measures of intelligence but also the most stable.
If the Schonell Spelling Test is considered out-moded then what is an acceptable graded spelling test?
TO assess sight word spelling: Test of Written Spelling (3rd edition, NOT 4th) 'unpredictable words subtest' (Larsen & Hammill, 1994) TO assess rule knowledge: 'nonword spelling subtest' from the Queensland University Inventory of Literacy (QUIL: Dodd et al., 1996). Or, Sacre & Masterson's (2000) Single Word Spelling Test (NFer Nelson) is excellent, too.

What are the differences and similarities between the Token Test for Children second Edition and the WJIII listening comprehension subtest?
The Token Test for Children - 2nd Edition (TTFC-2) is a revision of earlier versions of the test that span over a half-century. It is a stand alone test of listening comprehension for children ages 3 years to 12 years. Possibly you are referring to the WJIII Understanding Directions test which is a component (i.e. subtest) of a larger psycho-educational battery. This subtest also measures listening comprehension. It is appropriate for ages 3 years to >80 years. The Token Test for Children - 2nd Edition (TTFC-2) utilizes 20 small tokens, varying in size (large and small), shape (round and square), and color (blue, green, yellow, white, and red). The child is given three opportunities to practice and become familiar with vocabulary used on the test. The administrator then gives the child 46 linguistic commands, to which they must respond by manipulating the tokens. The commands are arranged in four parts of increasing difficulty, and must be administered in consecutive order. The WJIII Understanding Directions test (WJIII) requires the student to listen to a sequence of audio-recorded instructions and then follow the directions by pointing to various objects in a colored picture. The items gradually increase in linguistic complexity as the number of tasks to perform increases. The reliability and validity coefficients for each of these tests (which can be found in their respective technical manuals) are adequate and similar in size/effect. They both also appear to be quite good predictors of early reading success. Because the TTFC-2 age span is specific to children, you may find that it is administered more often in the school system and private speech-language clinics specializing in pediatrics. The WJIII Understanding Directions subtest is likely to be administered in the school setting but also in the adult - clinical settings (i.e. hospitals, rehabilitation clinics). As the TTFC-2 requires passing practice items (to verify understanding of vocabulary) and the vocabulary is tightly controlled, results may be interpreted as more of a 'clean' measure of language processing than the WJIII Understanding Directions subtest which does not verify understanding of the vocabulary prior to administration and also relies on a good amount of visual processing the pictures contain vast amounts of detailed information). The WJIII Understanding Directions subtest appears to require greater use of working memory than the TTFC-2; an important distinction when interpreting results. To summarize, each of these tests measures the broad ability of listening comprehension (i.e. the ability to understand and follow multi-step oral direction). Each has adequate reliability and validity and examiners who administer them can be confident in results.

What are the requirments to get into the Air Force Academy?
First, an applicant must meet all eligibility requirements. This includes: being a United States citizen (unless applying to represent an allied nation of the United States), being 23 or under as of the first day of Basic Cadet Training, being unmarried with no dependants, and being able to pass all medical clearance exams (waivers for many medical disorders will be given if the application package is strong enough). The Academy looks for a "Whole Person Concept" in applicants. While extremely strong performance in one area may make up for deficiency in another, there are minimums which may disqualify applicants if they are not met. For instance, I believe the minimum ACT subtest score is either 24 or 25, meaning that if any of the four subtest scores on the ACT are below the minimum score, an applicant is disqualified. The average ACT composite score for appointees is 31. Physical fitness is assessed through a test known as the Candidate Fitness Assessment which consists of a kneeling basketball throw, pullups, situps, pushups, and a 1 mile run. While the Academy does not publish minimum scores for this test, I believe there are minimums in each area which must be met. Averages for appointees are published, so it is best to meet or exceed all published averages to be highly competitive.
WAIS consists of separate what sub tests?
The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) consists of separate subtests for measuring various cognitive abilities, such as verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed. These subtests assess different aspects of intelligence, such as verbal ability, nonverbal problem-solving skills, memory, and attention. The combination of these subtests provides an overall picture of an individual's cognitive abilities.
