Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Creating stories from pictures and recreating patterns with blocks are activities that are typically associated with the performance scales of the WAIS, which measure nonverbal abilities such as visual-spatial skills, perceptual reasoning, and processing speed. Verbal scales, on the other hand, assess skills such as vocabulary, comprehension, and verbal reasoning. Fluid and crystallized intelligence are broader constructs that are not specific to any particular scale on the WAIS.
