Reliability and Predictive Validity of the WISC-R with Native-American Navajos.

Mishra, Shitala P.; Lord, Jan

Journal of School Psychology, v20 n2 p150-54 Sum 1982

Examined the reliability and predictive validity of the WISC-R with Navajo children (N=40). Internal consistency reliability estimates of WISC-R subtests as well as composites were found to be low for the Navajo subjects. The predictive validity of the WISC-R IQ scales was similarly found to be very low. (Author)
