Factorial Similarity of the WISC-R for White and Black Children from the Standardization Sample.

Gutkin, Terry B.; Reynolds, Cecil R.

Journal of Educational Psychology, v73 n2 p227-31 Apr 1981

To test the validity of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) for minority groups, factorial similarity across race was investigated with separate principal-factor analyses for White and Black children from the nationally representative WISC-R standardization sample. On every measure, the White and Black groups were highly similar. (Author/AEF)
