Two groups of adolescents (N = 114), 61 identified-gifted adolescents (M = 22, F = 39) and 51 vocational school adolescents (M = 27, F = 26), were compared on the Overexcitability Questionnaire. Each of the five Overexcitability (OE) scores--Psychomotor, Sensual, Imaginational, Intellectual, and Emotional--was subjected to a two-way ANOVA by…

Found subjects of varying levels of neuropsychological impairment, administered revised Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-R), obtained significantly lower Full Scale, Verbal, and Performance Intelligence Quotients (IQs) than did subjects administered original, full version WAIS. Indicated significant main effects for level of impairment for…

Comparison of Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC)-Revised and WISC III IQs for 64 students with specific learning disabilities and 55 students with mental retardation (MR) found that correlations were lower than those reported in the WISC-III manual. Only Performance IQs for students with MR matched the correlations reported in the…

Attempts to fill research gap on testing by obtaining comparisons of deviation scores, at grade levels four, seven, and ten, from the California Test of Mental Maturity, Henmon-Nelson Tests, and Lorge-Thorndike Intelligence tests. Results tabulated. (CJ)

Investigated the validities of IQs obtained from independent administration Terman-Merrill (T-M) versus the rescoring method (SF) of the short form of the Stanford-Binet Form L-M. Results indicated that the T-M, depending on test sequence, correlated significantly different with the Full Scale Binet IQ than did the SF rescoring method. (Author)

Findings indicated that the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test and the Revised Beta Examination should be administered as part of a battery to disabled students in special education rehabilitation units. It was concluded that this procedure would be more economical than administering the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale. (Author/DB)

Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence-Revised and Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised were administered to 51 preschool, kindergarten, first and second grade students. Although two of four Pearson correlations between these two instruments were statistically significant, they may not be of practical importance. (Author)

Compared the derived mental age (MA) of the Stanford-Binet to the test age (TA) of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (Revised) in 100 children. For subjects whose WISC-R scores fell within the TA table, the two were comparable. When extrapolated TAs were required, the scores were not comparable. (Author/JAC)

Explored the relationship between the Revised Peabody Picture Vocabulary test (PPVT-R) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) for a sample of 38 mentally retarded children. Found the PPVT-R correlated significantly with the WISC-R Verbal Performance and Full Scale IQ scores. (Author)

This research studied the interchangeability of individually administered and group administered cognitive tests. Seventy undergraduate students took the Hebrew version of the WAIS-R (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised), and their IQs were measured. They also took the IPET (Israeli Psychometric Entrance Test) and their IPET scores were…

This investigation examined the three-year stability of WISC-R IQs for a balanced sample of Anglo, Black, and Mexican-American handicapped children. No significant differences in mean IQs were found across the three ethnic groups, although WISC-R Verbal and Performance IQs varied significantly over the test-retest period. (Author/BS)
