Performance Scale

For a sample of 40 educable retarded children, correlations between WISC IQs and Quick Test IQs were .53 (Verbal Scale), .32 (Performance Scale), and .50 (Full Scale). The QT mean IQ was significantly higher than the mean WISC Verbal and Full Scale IQs; there was no significant difference between the QT mean IQ and the mean WISC Performance IQ, although the correlation between these scales was somewhat lower. The findings suggest that, as with the adult retardate, the Quick Test assesses functional language ability of mentally retarded children moderately well and thus may be used in conjunction with other data for screening purposes.

For 106 retarded persons correlations between WAIS IQs and IQs for combined forms of the Quick Test were .68 (Verbal scale), .40 (Performance scale), and .64 (Full scale), which values are similar to previously reported ones of Methvin. The QT assesses reliably (.83) functional language ability.

The Quick Test and the WAIS Verbal Scale were administered to 30 severely physically handicapped persons in a physical medicine and rehabilitation hospital. There was no significant difference between the mean IQ scores of the QT and the WAIS Verbal Scale. This, coupled with a correlation of .80, supports the authors' hypothesis that the QT can be utilized for a quick assessment of intellectual functioning in the rehabilitation setting.

Screening Device

This study examined the use of the Shipley Institute of Living Scale as a screening device in an intellectually low functioning psychiatric population of 40 inpatients. Shipley IQ scores were significantly correlated .72 with Full Scale WAIS-R IQ scores. There was no significant difference between the mean IQ scores generated from the two measures. These findings suggest that the Shipley scale may be used in this population despite a caution by the test's publisher that the test should not be used in assessing intellectual functioning in individuals with borderline or lower intelligence.

35 white, middle-class children, aged 6 to 6½ yr., were tested on the WPPSI, Stanford-Binet, and the new McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities (MSCA). Of these children 31 were tested 4 mo. later on the Metropolitan Achievement Tests (1970 Edition) at the end of first grade. The Stanford-Binet IQ and MSCA General Cognitive Index (GCI) correlated significantly with overall first-grade achievement ( p = .01) as did the MSCA Quantitative and Perceptual-Performance Scale Indexes. The WPPSI Full Scale IQ correlated with achievement ( p = .05). The mean Stanford-Binet IQ was discrepant with the children's average scores on the WPPSI, MSCA, and Metropolitan; the implications of this finding were discussed. The fact that the new scales correlated at least as well as the two more established tests, for the present group, suggests that the new battery may be useful as a predictor of school success.

Brief Screening

Two groups (organic and functional) of 32 patients each, seen at the Wilford Hall USAF Hospital, Psychology Service, were given both the Quick Test and the full WAIS. Correlations between each form of the Quick Test and both scaled scores and IQs on the WAIS were obtained. The correlations suggest that the QT and the Verbal section of the WAIS tap similar abilities. Further, the QT possesses sufficient relationship to the WAIS Full Scale IQ to justify its use as a brief screening device as a measurement of general intelligence. Regression analyses indicated that no significant gain in predictive validity is obtained by the administration of all forms of the QT and that for functional and mixed groups Form 2 of the QT is the best predictor of WAIS Full Scale IQs. Some data which question the form equivalence of the QT are presented.

A sample of 19 male and 19 female 5th graders from a private school were tested on the 1949 WISC and the 1974 revised edition (WISC-R). Tests were administered in a partially counterbalanced order. Correlation coefficients for Verbal, Performance and Full Scale IQs were all very high as expected. On average, students scored 9.6 points higher on the WISC Verbal Scale and 8.4 points higher on the Performance Scale. Results for this small sample suggest the need for more frequent restandardization.

Wechsler Adult Intelligence

The Quick Test and the WAIS-R were administered to 20 male patients (12 black, 8 white) in an urban prison's psychiatric hospital. The mean chronological age of the sample was 29 yr. Strong positive correlations ranged from .64 to .90 between the Quick Test IQs and the WAIS-R Verbal Scale IQs and Full Scale IQs, with a modest relationship to Performance IQs. These findings suggest that the Quick Test provides a reasonable estimate of conventional verbal intelligence for a population in an urban prison's clinical setting.

27 Ss in a diagnostic clinic for mental retardation were administered the QT and the WISC. The intercorrelations between the QT individual and combination forms were extremely high. Significant rs were obtained between the QT and Picture Arrangement, Coding, Performance Scale scores, and Full Scale scores. The magnitude of the rs, the speed and ease of administration, suggests the QT can be used for deriving an IQ and screening patients in mental retardation facilities.

26 highly gifted students, aged 10 to 12 yr., were administered the WISC to compare their scores with previously obtained WISC-R scores. The interval between the administration of the two instruments ranged from 9 to 12 mo. Correlation coefficients for the Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale IQs were .44, .52, and .42, respectively. A significant difference in the mean Verbal and Full Scale IQs was found; the WISC-R showed higher means, while the mean difference between the Performance IQs was not significant. Significant differences were found on three verbal subtests, Information, Similarities, and Comprehension, and on one performance subtest, Coding. The results indicated that these highly gifted students performed consistently better on the recently revised WISC-R which they had been given previously than on its predecessor, the WISC.
