The relationship between IQ scores on the Full-Range Picture Vocabulary Test (FRPV) of Amnions and Amnions and the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) was investigated using a random sample of clients at a hospital-based vocational rehabilitation center. As predicted, correlations of FRPV and WAIS were significant, but decreased in magnitude for WAIS Vocabulary subtest, Verbal IQ, Full-scale IQ, and Performance IQ scores. These data extend previous research in applying the FRPV to different populations and suggest that it can be usefully applied as a quick screening measure of intelligence with a heterogeneous rehabilitation clientele.

40 patients at a psychiatric hospital were tested with the following tests of intelligence: Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS), Raven's Progressive Matrices (PM) and Forms A and B of the Full-Range Picture Vocabulary Test (FRPV). Regression analysis using the WAIS as the criterion and the other two tests as predictors indicated that either Form A or Form B of the FRPV predicted WAIS IQ but the PM did not.

Abstract Twenty people with suspected intellectual disability took the Reynolds Intellectual Assessment Scales (RIAS; C. R. Reynolds & R. W. Kamphaus, 1998) and the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale—3rd Edition (WAIS-III; D. Wechsler, 1997) to see if the 2 IQ tests produced comparable results. A t test showed that the RIAS Composite Intelligence Index scores were significantly higher than WAIS-III Full Scale IQ scores at the alpha level of .01. There was a significant difference between the RIAS Nonverbal Intelligence and WAIS-III Performance Scale, but there was no significant difference between the RIAS Verbal Intelligence Index and the WAIS-III Verbal Scale IQ. The results raise questions concerning test selection for diagnosing intellectual disability and the use of the correlation statistic for comparing intelligence tests.

29 men (15 white, 14 black) who were inmates at a maximum security penitentiary were given the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale—Revised and the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test—Revised on which the full scale IQs correlated .80. This suggests the Peabody would serve as an effective screening test for this population.

30 patients in a D. V. A. hospital were given both the QT and the WAIS. Correlations between the QT and the Full Scale WAIS, Verbal WAIS, Performance WAIS, and Vocabulary subtest of the WAIS were all significantly different from zero. Examination of the correlation coefficients suggested that the QT measures much the same abilities as does the WAIS, although the QT is predominantly a vocabulary comprehension test. Because the QT is easier to give, it was felt that the QT might often be used instead of the WAIS when one is interested in quickly assessing IQ in an applied setting.
