The number of composite- and index-level scores on the WISC-V has doubled from its predecessor without much discernable change in the composition of the test.
“Consistent with a long -standing trend in intelligence test development, the number of composite -and index -level scores on the WISC -V has doubled from its predecessor without much discernable change in the composition of the test (Frazier and Youngstrom 2007).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
