The WAIS ACS Social Cognition Test is an integrated test including facial affect, prosody, body language, and mental state interpretation. It has the advantage of a large normative sample of 800 subjects matched to the US census and has been validated with promising results against currently used facial affect recognition tasks in the setting of other psychiatric conditions. It comprised three subtests: affect naming, prosody-face matching, and prosody-pair matching. The subgroups each test a different aspect of social cognition (86, 87).
