IntroductionThe determination of IQ is essential in the assessment and diagnosis of children. There are multitude of tests, one of the most used are the Wechsler Scales.AimsHypothesis: Assessment of IQ is equivalent using the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISCr) and Kaufman inteligence brief test (KBIT).Subjects Children undergoing treatment at Unit Child and Adolescent Mental Health of Talavera with determination IQ at some point in the intervention: 39 pairings determination of IQ subjects atended: 20 males and 19 females, aged between 4 and 14 years.MaterialSubjects are evaluated with KBIT and WISCr tests.MethodsDesign: Quasi-experimental with two conditions.Independent variables: IQ Total WISCr and age management KBIT (for eight years application of the full test, under this age not full test).Dependent variable: IQ KBIT.AnalysisCalculation of correlation between IQ by non-parametric test. Comparison between groups using non-parametric test for dependent data (sign test). Rejecting null hypothesis for alpha significance P < 0.05.ResultsPartial KBIT; 21 comments, 11 males, 10 females; Spearman r = .714 (P < .001); average estimate of 12.71 points higher in KBIT, Dt 18.07, sign test Z = –2.012 (P < .041).Full KBIT18 observations, 9 males, 9 females; Spearman r = .739 (P < .001); lower average estimate of 3.44 points in KBIT, Dt 12.43, sign test Z = –.236 (P < .815).ConclusionsThe results support high validity regardless of age management KBIT, although IQ scores obtained before 8 years should be considered with caution. The KBIT has the advantage of its shorter evaluation, however the information obtained from WISCr is wider.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Assessment Of Intelligence

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) is the most widely used intelligence test in the world. Now in its fifth edition, the WISC-V has been translated and adapted for use in nearly a dozen countries. Despite its popularity, numerous concerns have been raised about some of the procedures used to develop and validate translated and adapted versions of the test around the world. The purpose of this article is to survey the most salient of those methodological and statistical limitations. In particular, empirical data are presented that call into question the equating procedures used to validate the WISC-V Spanish, suggesting cautious use of that instrument. It is believed that the issues raised in the present article will be instructive for school psychologists engaged in the clinical assessment of intelligence with the WISC-V Spanish and with other translated and adapted versions around the world.

Vineland Adaptive Behavior

People with an intellectual disability are over-represented in the criminal justice system in many western countries. Identifying accused persons with intellectual disability is important if they are to receive protections available under the law. Accurate diagnosis is also relevant for correctional administrators, probation and parole services, and community services. Diagnosis of intellectual disability must be made on the basis of both cognitive skills (intelligence) and adaptive behavior. In this study, the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test assessed intelligence, and the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales assessed adaptive behavior, through self-report. Tests were administered to 150 offenders, ranging in age from 13 to 53 years, in Australian prisons, juvenile detention centers, legal aid offices, and probation services. Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients calculated among all subtests and between total scores were significant. ROC curve analyses demonstrated that performance on each effectively predicted a standard score of less than 70 on the other one.
