As most will intuitively know, language ability is an umbrella term that comprises various different categories: some people are better at grammar, some at vocabulary and some at spelling. IQ tests sometimes incorporate a verbal portion. What is this based on and does it take into account the many different aspects of language ability?

Hi, you may consult Wechsler Intelligence Scale, which measures general IQ (performance IQ and verbal IQ). Non-verbal IQ is also contained in Wechsler, as there are different sub-tests related. Besides, verbal memory can be assessed by digit span.
