The WISC (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children) is the most appropriate choice for a client who is 12 years and 4 months old. It is specially designed to assess intelligence in children between the ages of 6 and 16. The WAIS (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale) is intended for individuals aged 16 and above. The WPPSI (Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence) is designed for children between the ages of 2 years and 6 years and 11 months. Finally, the W-BIT (Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence) is designed for individuals aged 6-89 years with limited time available for testing. Therefore, the best choice of the Wechsler scale for the given age range is the WISC.
