The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children Revised (WISC-R) was administered to 34 elementary students scoring "gifted" on the Otis, Iowa, and SRBCSS (Scale for Rating Behavioral Characteristics of Superior Students). Results indicated a combination of the Otis, Iowa, and SRBCSS was moderately effective in predicting the Full Scale…

Examines the relationship between performance on two measures of fluid intelligence, one measure of crystallized intelligence, and three Piagetian measures of intelligence. Subjects were 102 first- and second-grade students. (BD)

Examined the relative utility of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, the Quick Test, and the Revised Beta as measures of intelligence in relation to the Wechsler Scales. Brief measures were not acceptable Wechsler substitutes with juvenile delinquents. (Author)

Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC) processing and achievement subtests were administered to 41 gifted students in grades four through six. Scores were compared to concurrent achievement measures from the California Achievement Test and other mental ability measures. Patterns of intercorrelations suggest that the K-ABC achievement…

Results indicate that because there is not an equivalent relationship between the WISC and WAIS, classification or retardation level and prognostic formulation using these tests should be made cautiously. (Author/CB)

The article reviews the application of Raven's Progressive Matrices (RPM) on the performance of the sexes based on scholarly achievements. It also compares the result of the RPM to Standard Progressive Matrices and to Colored Progressive Matrices. (TLJ)

Forty elementary students were administered the Bender-Gestalt Test using two techniques: Koppitz routine instructions and the Hutt testing-the-limits method. The mean number of Koppitz errors was approximately two greater than the number obtained using the Hutt technique. (Author/BW)

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

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)

The Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test (K-BIT) (A. S. Kaufman and N. L. Kaufman, 1990) was compared with short forms of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale--Revised (WAIS-R) using results from 64 referrals to a neuropsychology service. Advantages of each test are noted and their use discussed. (SLD)

Conducted follow-up study of 43 subjects in mentally retarded residential population. Findings corroborated earlier findings that Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised and Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) cannot be regarded as equivalent testing instruments. WAIS-R yielded consistently higher scores for intellectually…

Whether the one- or two-factor Wechsler or weighted sum scores (WSS) structural models adequately fit the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children III (WISC-III) covariance matrices was studied with samples of 2200 and 1118 children from previous studies. Both the WSS and supplemented models provided better fit than Wechsler's model but still…

Investigates performance of children (N=731) on the Matrix Analogies Test-Short Form (MAT-SF) as a measure of nonverbal intelligence. Analysis revealed that performance of Greek children was similar to an American sample. Findings suggest that MAT-SF can be used as a screening measure of nonverbal intelligence with Greek children using the US…
