Concurrent Validity of the Kent Egy Scale in a Mexican-American Population.

Loucks, Sandra; And Others

Journal of School Psychology, v18 n1 p79-80 Spr 1980

Mexican-American participants in a summer career-exploration program were given the Kent Emergency Scale and the Otis-Lennon Test of Mental Abilities. Correlation between Otis IQ and Kent raw score was significantly positive but lower than those reported in other settings. Caution is warranted in interpreting Kent results in Mexican-Americans.
