WISC RISC
WISC = Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children
RISC = Reduced Instruction Set Computer or
Rust Inventory of Schizotypal Cognitions

"Many parents ask us about the Block Design section
on the WISC and hope to purchase blocks and exercises
like those used on the WISC test. We explain that doing that
has the potential to invalidate their child's test results.
These Froebel Color Cubes will give you a tool to work with
your child on the skills tested for in the Block Design section
of the WISC in an ethical and appropriate way. These same
skills are applicable to any test of non-verbal reasoning like
the NNAT, Raven's or non-verbal sections of the CogAT or OLSAT. "
For a webpage that is perhaps un ethical and in appropriate,
see Block Designs in Art and Mathematics.
