Psychological Testing and Assessment Cognitive Abilities and Testing Developmental and Educational Neuropsychology

Abstract

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) was administered to 120 emotionally disturbed adolescents, using standard assessment procedures and format as outlined by Wechsler (1974). Abbreviated IQ scores then were derived by applying the Kennedy-Elder (1982) formula, an equation that uses five WISC-R subtests with varied weightings. Comparisons between the standard IQ scores and the abbreviated IQ scores were evaluated. A Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient of .948 and a nonsignificant t-test between the mean IQs suggested that the two scores were interchangeable. However, frequent IQ classification changes (25%) rendered the K-E format unacceptable for this population.
