This study attempted to assess directly whether children who had had an imaginary companion were significantly different from those who had not, in intelligence, creativity, and waiting ability, each of which had been identified in previous research as an important correlate of this phenomenon. A total of 84 children participated in this study,…

Terrell, Dudley J.; And Others – 1983
The Full Scale Intelligence Quotient on tests such as the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) provides a single score which describes a person's over-all performance in relation to other people of similar age. However, two people with identical Full Scale scores may have quite different profiles of strengths and weaknesses.…

Mealor, David J.; Abrams, Pamela F. – 1984
Profile analysis was performed on Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) scores of 29 learning disabled students (6-10 years old) in a Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) program, to determine whether subtest patterns for initial and re-evaluation WISC-R administrations would differ significantly. Profile analysis was applied…

Dunmire, Phyllisann M.; And Others – 1988
Confirmatory maximum likelihood factor analysis was used to determine how accurately each of several hypothesized combinations of first-order and/or higher-order factors could describe the covariation within selected sub-matrices taken from the total correlation matrix originally analyzed by M. O'Sullivan et al. (1965). Focus was on evaluating the…

Moseley, David – 1978
The paper reviews factor analytic studies concerning the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) profiles of children with learning disabilities (LD). Considered are the following topics: subtest profiles of backward readers, a sex difference in coding, and derivation and use of grouped subtest scores in profile analysis. The…

Peer reviewedVanderploeg, Rodney D.; And Others – Psychological Assessment, 1996
The validity of a technique for estimating premorbid intellectual functioning based on Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) subtest performance and demographic information used in best-performance fashion was investigated with the 1,880 individuals from the WAIS-R standardization sample. Results support use of the approach. (SLD)

Peer reviewedGuttman, Louis; Levy, Shlomit – Intelligence, 1991
Two structural laws for intelligence tests are discussed: one law concerns the sign of correlation coefficients and gives conditions under which all correlations between test items will be positive; and one law concerns the relative sizes of the correlation coefficients between intelligence items. A cylindrical structure extends these laws. (SLD)

Reynolds, Cecil R. – 1981
The cultural test bias hypothesis represents the contention that all ethnic or racial group differences on mental tests are due to inherent, artifactual biases produced within the tests through flawed psychometric methodology. This address focuses on an empirical evaluation of the cultural test bias hypothesis, especially emphasizing the construct…

Peer reviewedSternberg, Robert J. – Intelligence, 1979
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)

Curran, Lisa; And Others – 1996
A major criticism of standardized intelligence tests is their improper use in measuring the intellectual competence of culturally diverse children. Factors which complicate the issue are the definition of intelligence, content bias in intelligence tests, and the interpretation of test scores between white middle class children and children of…

Semrud-Clikeman, Margaret; Lorys-Vernon, Alison – 1988
The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children--Revised (WISC-R) Freedom from Distractibility (FFD) factor and other neurocognitive measures were examined as to their discriminative validity in diagnosing children with Attention Deficit Disorder/Hyperactivity (ADD/H), ADD/H children with concurrent Conduct Disorder, and children comprising a clinic…

Miller, Margery Silberman – 1984
The paper provides a theoretical framework for the inclusion of a verbal intelligence test as part of the psychodiagnostic assessment battery used with deaf children. Descriptions are provided for three selected sign language varieties being used in a study designed to examine performance of 30 deaf children (9-16 years old) on signed…

Bernal, Ernest M. – 1981
In the United States, IQ tests are developed by and for whites. IQ tests and their derivates have been used on minorities not so much for prescriptive intervention purposes as for confirmation of suspiciously different behavior and for placement into special education and out of programs for the gifted, higher education, and advanced occupational…

Hatcher, Catherine W.; And Others – 1975
The study compared the relationships of more easily administered intelligence screening instruments with the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) to determine the validity of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, the Slosson Intelligence Test, and the Raven Progressive Matrices among reading disabled children. The screening measures were…

Humphreys, Lloyd G. – 1975
The author questions why intelligence and intelligence testing have been so lightly treated in recent years. The topic has been in disfavor, and citizens and educators have tended to swing from one extreme to another in their evaluations of such matters of social concerns. This virtual dismissal of intelligence has been followed by great…
