WISC-R and PPVT Scores for Black and White Mentally Retarded Children

Richmond, Bert O.; Long, Marvin

Journal of School Psychology, 15, 3, 261-263, F 77

The data suggest that the WISC-R Verbal, Performance, and Full scales are almost equally lacking in racial bias and that all three scales are less biased than the PPVT. If the PPVT is used for initial screening, it will be important to follow up with a more thorough psychological evaluation. (Author)
