The WAIS-III (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale - Third Edition) is the most appropriate intelligence test for individuals over the age of 16, including those in their early 20s like Jane. It measures a broad range of cognitive abilities including verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed. The K-ABC (Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children) and WPPSI-R (Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence - Revised) are designed for children and would not be appropriate for Jane. The DSM-IV-TR (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - Fourth Edition, Text Revision) is a reference manual for psychiatric disorders, and is not an intelligence test.
