Compared the SIT with the WISC-R for a group of intellectually gifted students. Results indicated reduced correlations between the measures. (Author)

The study compared the Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery Tests of Cognitive Ability and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children--Revised for a sample of 51 learning disabled children (7-11 years old). (Author/SBH)

The confluence model for explaining the influence of birth order on intelligence was applied to a sample of 56 Black and 52 White students. The confluence model and parental occupation were deemed insufficient in accounting for racial differences in intelligence scores. (Author/JKS)

Six points of view regarding the future of intelligence testing are considered, and a "prototypical" point of view is presented. The past history and present status of intelligence testing and research are considered. Their future is discussed in terms of assessment of various kinds of components of intelligence. (Author/RD)

The extent to which IQ scores can be influenced by the administrative method used was investigated with 101 children (6 to 16 years old) with behavioral and emotional difficulties. Findings demonstrated a strong relationship between WISC-R test scores and administrative procedures. (SBH)

The study was designed to investigate scatter produced by 105 learning disabled (LD) children (6 to 16 years old) and to compare Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) scatter with that produced by A. Kaufman's (1976) normal population. Range of scaled scores (i.e., scatter) was significantly greater for the LD group. (SBH)

This study suggests that the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test and the Slosson Intelligence Test measure different and limited aspects of a child's ability and are only rough estimates of his/her capability of what is generally termed intelligence. Scores from either should be interpreted with care and in light of other information about a child.…

Children referred for psychological evaluation had been administered the Rorschach test and the WISC-R, among other tests, for diagnostic purposes. Significant relationships were found between groups for some variables after which prediction formulas were developed for estimates and use of verbal terminology associated with IQ levels. (Author)

Forty college students were administered a self-rating scale for intelligence along with several actual ability measures, including the Concept Mastery Test and "breadth" and "depth" indices based on the Weschsler Adult Intelligence Scale Similarities subtest. (MS)

72 boys and 72 girls at age 41/2 years were tested on the WPPSI. Results underlie the necessity for comprehensive control data on materials used in studies of cognitive development. (Editor/RK)

WISC and WISC-R test results were correlated with achievement test scores and school grades of 36 children who had completed two years of school. Global intelligence estimates from both scales correlated at significant levels with all achievement test measures. (Author)

Establishes a relationship between the performance of children in Guatemala and in the United States on psychological tests and adults' informal judgments of their intelligence. (KS)

Demonstrates how data smoothing procedures--procedures commonly used in the development of continuous test norms--can provide better estimates of the reliability, uniqueness, and general factor characteristics for the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, third edition, subtests. Suggests that such procedures are applicable to other test…

Discusses two types of vocational guidance practices: ethical--reasoned match strategy (Frank Parsons); and technical--square pegs and round holes (Cyril Burt). Suggests that the technical, psychological trait-and-factor matching approach ignores the significance of cultural literacy and general education in shaping a competent vocational…
