In order to determine the concurrent validity of the Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Ability (WJTCA) in relation to the Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) for elementary school children identified as gifted, and two tests were administered to 33 subjects in a counterbalanced fashion. The subjects were selected based on three factors: (1) parent and/or teacher judgments; (2) parental permission to test; and (3) a standard age score of 120 or above on a group intelligence test. Pearson Product-Moment Corelation Coefficients were calculated between all combinations of WISC-R IQ's paired with WJTCA cluster scores. A significant relationship was found to exist between the two tests’ full scale scores. Most of the WJTCA clusters correlated significantly with the WISC-R Scale IQ which suggests a high verbal loading on the WJTCA.

The Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery (WJ) is gaining in use in the assessment of youngsters with suspected learning disabilities. This study reports on the Tests of Cognitive Ability of the battery, which are intended to be the equivalent of an intelligence test. The correlation between full scale scores on the WISC-R and the WJ was found to be .79, suggesting considerable overlap. However, differences in mean full scale scores of approximately one standard deviation were found. Possible explanations and implications for the findings are discussed.

Wechsler Adult Intelligence

This preliminary study evaluated the concurrent validity of the Thurstone Test of Mental Alertness as a brief intelligence test using the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale—Revised as the criterion of adult intellectual achievement. Analyses indicated that the Total score on Thurstone's test was significantly correlated with the standard summary scores as well as with the WAIS—R factor scores. On the Thurstone Test of Mental Alertness scores could accurately predict WAIS—R intelligence for this nonclinical sample of 32 undergraduates. The concurrent validity of the test as a brief intelligence test was inferred and the results were consistent with the range of correlations expected among all measures of global intellectual achievement. Reading comprehension was suggested as a principal factor attenuating the correlation between the two tests.

Pilot Investigation

The general intelligence scale of the APT/COM computer-assisted vocational evaluation system was investigated for concurrent validity, using the Slosson Intelligence Test as the criterion. Fifteen university students with disabilities served as subjects in this pilot study. It was found that the APTICOM's intelligence scale is significantly correlated to the Slosson Intelligence Test. Implications for rehabilitation research and practice are discussed.

Concurrent validity of the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test (K-BIT) with a sample of elementary- and middle-school students referred for multidisciplinary evaluations in a public school setting is presented. All correlations between the K-BIT and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children–Third Edition (WISC-III) were significant. Correlations ranged from .36 ( r2 = .10) to .87 ( r2 = .75), Mr = .71 ( Mr2 = .50). K-BIT Vocabulary-Matrices discrepancy scores accounted for a significant but small proportion (13%) of the variability in WISC-III VIQ-PIQ discrepancies, but kappa ( k) coefficients for these discrepancies indicated that agreement was generally no better than chance. The K-BIT appears to be a promising general intellectual screening instrument when more comprehensive assessment is not possible or needed, but interpretation is best left at the IQ Composite level for the present time.
