WISC-R Deviation Quotients versus Traditional IQs: An Examination of the Standardization Sample and Some Implications for Score Interpretation.

Gutkin, Terry B.

Journal of Clinical Psychology, v38 n1 p179-82 Jan 1982

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 deviation quotients. (Author/JAC)
