The standardization samples for the American Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) (n=2,200) and the French WISC-R (n=1,066) were used to compare the intelligence of French and U.S. children. The American sample scored higher on verbal IQ, full scale IQ, and some subtests. Implications of results are discussed. (SLD)
