David Wechsler (January 12, 1896, Lespedi, Romania - May 2, 1981, New York, New York) was a leading American psychologist. He developed two well-known intelligence scales the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC).
Wechsler held the view that human intelligence is not a single thing, but a mixure many distinct -- and separately measurable -- human capabilities. For example, the scoring of the WAIS distinguishes verbal comprehension, spatial perceptual ability, and ability to cope with distraction.
