For example, the digit symbol task gives you 120 seconds to substitute as many digits for symbols, given a key. What would the average person score <em>in terms of number of symbols completed</em>? </p>

I imagine the information you are after would be in the WAIS IV scoring manual. Many university schools of psychology should have a copy.

@caseyr547 That's why it is a comment. It also embodies the point that if you are using a test, ethically you should understand how to use the test, and that involves reading the test manual.

Why such the strong phobia to releasing this information online somewhere? No university prof's website did that? Or is there stiff legal action?

What are the average *raw* scores, and standard deviations for the WAIS-IV subtests (scores are normalized)?
For example, the digit symbol task gives you 120 seconds to substitute as many digits for symbols, given a key. What would the average person score *in terms of number of symbols completed*?
