Estimating Full Scale IQs from Short Forms of Wechsler's Scales: Linear Scaling versus Linear Regression.

Silverstein, A. B.

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v52 n5 p919 Oct 1984

Examines the consequences of regarding Deviation Quotients (DQs) as estimates of Full Scale IQs. Offers a new formula and shows the increase in error to be negligible for short forms with typical validities, which supports linear scaling as an acceptable alternative to linear regression. (LLL)
