Mentally retarded youngsters (N=80) aged 6 to 16, were tested on the WISC-R, primarily to assess the continuity of measurement between the old and new WISCs. There was evidence to support the continuity of the WISC-R with its predecessor for retarded populations. (Author)

Fabricated test protocols were used to study how effectively examiners agree in scoring ambiguous WISC-R responses. The results suggest that, even with the improved WISC-R manual, scoring remains a difficult and challenging task. (Author)

Navy enlisted personnel (N=60) were administered the Recall scale of the Kahn Intelligence Test (Experimental Form; KIT) and the Digit Span subtest of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS). Scores for the KIT tasks indicate a significant transfer of data to long-term memory. (Author)

While a variety of scales and instruments to measure parental support exist, most of these have not received adequate analysis. Utilizing two bodies of data, the widely used Heilbrun, Cornell, and Schaefer measures of parental support were examined. Results are presented. (Author)

Compared two- and three-factor solutions for the 12 subtests of WISC and WISC-R for 164 black, white, and Latino children aged seven to 15 referred to school psychologists because of concerns about their intellectual ability. Factor structures of WISC and WISC-R for same group of subjects are similar. (Author)

This study compared outcome of individual, multiple, and programmed modes of test interpretation of four different vocational tests with content held constant across treatments. Subjects in the individual condition scored significantly higher than subjects in either of the other two conditions on perceived effectiveness of test interpretation.…

English 1 grades, Scholastic Aptitude Test scores, and fall semester grade point averages for 149 students were analyzed to determine relationships among variables, with particular attention to the experimental Test of Standard Written English (TSWE). The meaning and utility of the TSWE remains unclear for this sample. (Author)

Timed and untimed scoring methods were employed with five WAIS subtests administered to 40 young and 40 old subjects matched for verbal intelligence. Elimination of bonuses for rapid performance differentially improved the scores of older subjects but did not raise those scores to levels achieved by the young. (Author)

Scores on the male and female scales of the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory were compared for college students (N=525) to evaluate the claim that male scales should be used with female counselees. Both sexes scored higher on opposite-sex scales. Score relationships support using only same-sex score interpretations with counselees. (Author)
