Investigates the relationship between the WISC IQ and academic achievement in regularily placed first-grade black children. (Author)

WISC and WISC-R test results were correlated with achievement test scores and school grades of 36 children who had completed two years of school. Global intelligence estimates from both scales correlated at significant levels with all achievement test measures. (Author)

The concept of selection ratios was illustrated for large clinical settings. Four Draw-A-Person (DAP) variables were used to predict intelligence in a sample of 601 institutionalized addicts. Results indicate that a test with low predictability across the entire distribution can often be used quite effectively for identifying poor or excellent…

This study investigated the efficacy of predicting academic achievement as measured by the Wide Range Achievement Test, using the Slosson Intelligence Test For Children and Adults as the predictor. Results indicate that the Slosson IQ significantly predicts Wide Range standard scores. (Author)

Children (N=30) ages 6-10 were selected who had been referred for psychological evaluation from the public schools. WISC-R was significantly lower than WISC FS IQ's and similar to S-B L&M IQ's. The use of the WISC-R over the WISC will result in greater numbers of children being classified as retarded. (Author)

The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale was administered to 30 male criminally insane patients and 15 violent convicts. The latter had similar subtest score configurations and the mean similarities ratio score for the violent group was significantly lower than that of the nonviolent group. (Author/SE)

IQ tests were viewed solely as predictors in this investigation. The results revealed equal but very low within-ethnic-group correlations between IQ and achievement measures administered concurrently prior to desegregation and for tests administered one and two years following desegregation.

Investigated the efficacy of various WAIS short forms among outpatients. Results favor Pauker's (1963) short form but also show a decrease in correspondence between short-form and Full Scale scores when the short forms are administered separately. (Author/EJT)

THE RELATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF TASK SCORES VERSUS IQ AS PREDICTORS OF ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT WAS INVESTIGATED, AND THE CORRELATIONS BETWEEN TASK SCORES AND IQ RE-EXAMINED. SUBJECTS WERE 99 UPPER-MIDDLE CLASS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN WITH A MEAN STANFORD-BINET IQ OF 126 (SD EQUALS 19). THE INSTRUMENTS USED WERE DUNN'S OBJECT SORTING TASK (OST),…
