Abstract

This article focuses on examining regional differences in cognitive performance among Indonesians using the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-IV Indonesia (WAIS-IV ID) and comparing these results to U.S. norms. The study found that participants from Java scored significantly higher than those from non-Java regions on nearly all WAIS-IV ID measures, with educational attainment correlating positively with test performance only in the Java sample. Compared to the U.S., Indonesians generally scored lower on most subtests, though the highly educated Java sample showed comparable or superior performance on select measures. The findings highlight the influence of regional disparities in education quality and economic factors on cognitive assessment outcomes and suggest the need for regionally stratified norms and culturally adapted testing in Indonesia.
