Assessed test bias on the Wechsler Intelligence Test for Children-Revised (WISC-R) and Bender-Gestalt. On the Bender, evidence of bias was infrequent and irregular.

The relationship between age and intelligence test performance was constant across race and sex and supports the construct validity of the WISC-R. (Author/RD)
