Utility of WISC-R Subtest Analysis in Discriminating among Groups of Conduct Problem, Withdrawn, Mixed, and Nonproblem Boys.

Hale, Robert L.; Landino, Susan A.

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v49 n1 p91-95 Feb 1981

Investigated the ability of the Wechsler Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) subtest scores to distinguish between three groups of behaviorally disordered boys and a control group. Results suggest that although WISC-R subtest scores were able to distinguish between the groups, their use as a classification metric could be highly misleading. (Author)
