The 1996 Test of Visual-Motor Integration manual states that an adjusted correlation of .95 was obtained between this test and the Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration for 49 children with an average age of 9 years and that the adjusted .95 suggests equivalency of the tests. In the present study, for 103 children whose average age was 9 years, there was a correlation of .33 between the tests. Scores on the Beery-Buktenica test correlated more strongly than the Test of Visual-Motor Integration with both chronological age and academic achievement. Standard scores for the latter test were high compared to those of the Beery-Buktenica test and the Comprehensive Test of Basic Skills. Interscorer agreement was significantly lower, and more time was required to score the protocols. This study indicates that the 1996 version is not a substitute for the Beery-Buktenica test.
