Explored the relationship between the Revised Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT-R) and the Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT) among 37 children referred for special education services. Results indicated the PPVT-R standard score correlated positively and significantly with the WRAT reading standard score. The concurrent validity of the PPVT-R…

Pattern and level of performance on the WAIS-R (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale Revised) and the Luria-Nebraska's Intelligence, Memory, and Motor Scales were examined for 93 neurologically impaired adults. Each set of procedures evidently is indexing the same theoretical constructs. (Author/ABB)

Administered the WISC and WISC-R to 20 White children and compared their differences in a counterbalanced design to equivalent data obtained from Black children. For the White subjects, no differences were found between WISC and WISC-R measures. Black children scored significantly lower on the WISC-R on all three IQ measures. (Author)

Examines the validity of a Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory code type interpretive program. Results showed the system was highly rated by three independent experienced clinicians. The program can be used in validating other automated test interpretation systems. Feedback by expert judges can be used to improve such systems. (Author/JAC)

Administered the WISC and the WISC-R in a counterbalanced design to 20 Hispanic children. Revealed the WISC-R to be as culturally biased as the WISC and that more Hispanic children may be labeled as mentally deficient. Suggested that verbal IQ reflects the extent of acculturation, while Performance IQ reflects actual ability. (Author)

Investigated the relaionships among the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test Revised (PPVT-R) alternate forms and the relationship of each PPVT-R form with the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R). All correlations with both forms of the PPVT-R were significant. PPVT-R mean scores did underestimate significantly all WAIS-R mean scores.…

The position taken in this paper is that if a person were an actual user of a Rorschach percept, the clinical significance of the percept undoubtedly would be different from that of the non-user who had minimal interest in the percept. (Author)

Hypothesizes that psychologists would give higher IQ estimates (1) to black and to Mexican-American children than to white children; (2) to lower-class than to middle-class children; and (3) to profiles with much scatter than to profiles with limited scatter. (Author/RK)

In a search for an adequate but efficient substitute, the authors have instituted three evaluations of the relationships between potential WAIS-substitutes and the WAIS itself. The present report describes the first of these researches-- a study of the relationships between the four group ability tests and the WAIS in a mental hospital setting.…

Results indicated that despite very high correlations between deviation quotients and traditional measures, changes of potential diagnostic significance occurred in scores of over half the sample (N=2,200). Discusses the potential utility of the factorially pure deviation quotients. Presents a table for translation of scaled scores into these…
