• Description:
  A research study of the use of Scaled Scores on the Vocabulary and Block Design subtests of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WI SC) for predicting Full Scale IQ’s by socioeconomic, sex, and ethnic (Anglo, Negro, and Mexican-American) factors. The relative predictive power of these two subtests is compared with other subtest dyads among 11 of the 12 subtests of the WI SC. Regression equations are provided for these two subtests with optimal prediction of Full Scale IQ by ethnic group and for the total sample of 1,310 children studied.
