As Pat said, the test is given in person. It involves a lot of different subtests, some verbal, some performance based. There probably isn't much online about it, because it's protected material.

And online IQ tests are not as reliable or valid as those that have been researched and normed on a large population. It's also vital to admimister it in a standard manner, which can't really be controlled online. So I'm not surprised that online tests vary from the WAIS.

And by the way, the WAIS is not the only reliable and valid IQ test. It's just the one I have been trained on. There is also the Stanford Binet, and others whose names are escaping me at the moment.
