Results indicate that many Mexican American pupils may have been placed in classes for the mentally retarded solely on the basis of performance on an IQ test which was invalid for Spanish-speakers. (AL)

The purpose of the study was to determine whether WPPSI is a valid and reliable instrument for the measurement of the intelligence of children whose scores fall within the upper range as measured by the Stanford-Binet. The results of this study indicated that there was only a moderate relationship between the two. (Author)

Using 72 lower class children, concurrent validity of the WPPSI was studied using the Stanford-Binet as the criterion. Correlations between SB and WPPSI were moderately high. Among the WPPSI subtests, Vocabulary was significantly lower than all other subtests. The only significant sexual difference favored females on Similarities. (Author)

The effects of four examiner and examinee variables - hostility, dominance, liking and warmth were related to examinee's score. (Author/CG)

Seven factors were found as the result of the factor analysis. No factor had a sufficient number of high loadings to justify interpretation as g", a general intelligence factor. The results of this study were compared with the logical analysis of Meeker & Bonsall based upon Guilford's factors of the intellect, and with Valett's profile analysis.…

Subtests of the two instruments were administered in randomized order to 120 16 year old students. Analysis of variance revealed higher WAIS than WISC Verbal (p is less than .001), Performance (p is less than .01), and Full Scales (p is less than .001) IQs. The WISC and WAIS are not comparable for below average intelligence students. Reprints from…

Evaluates Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) as a rapidly administrable test of intelligence. The PPVT and Doppelt Short Form of the WAIS were given to 150 outpatients. Results suggest clinicians should be cautious in making decisions about patients on the basis of PPVT scores. (Author)

Data from the WAIS, WISC, and WPPSI Standardization samples were used to reappraise validity of all short forms of two, three, four, and five subtests. Results were compared with those given by McNemar's formula. The corrected formula gave lower values and selected "best short forms that differed from McNemar's formula. (Author)
