Diagnostic Use of WISC-R Subtest Scatter: A Note of Caution.

Taylor, Ronald L.; And Others

Diagnostique, v9 n1 p26-31 Fall 1983

The study investigated the subtest scatter of 555 nonreferred elementary students of three ethnic backgrounds--Black, White, and Hispanic. The magnitude of the subtest scatter was similiar to A. Kaufman's analysis of the standardization data. The inclusion of the Hispanic group, however, produced a somewhat different pattern. (Author/CL)
