An Analysis of the General and Specific Intellectual Factors on the WISC-R for Hispanic and White Children.

Taylor, Ronald L.; Richards, Stephen B.

Diagnostique, v17 n1 p49-56 Fall 1991

A factor analysis was conducted for a sample of 200 white and Hispanic children (ages 6-11) using the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised. Results indicated that the two-factor solution was similar for the two groups, but there were notable differences for the three-factor solution, relative measures of "g," and subtest specificity.
