Abstract
The split-half reliability of four of the subtests of the W-B Intelligence Scale, information, comprehension, similarities, and vocabulary was computed. With the exception of the Vocabulary subtest, the estimated range of fluctuation of each individual's score which could be attributed to chance errors was found to exceed the amount of deviation necessary for significance by Wechsler's standards. Thus the usefulness of diagnostic signs based on variability in subtest scores is highly questionable. An evaluation of four of Rapaport's signs of the neuroses found them lacking in this group of 122 neurotics. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)Keywords
