Abstract
Performance of 200 mixed neuropsychiatric patients on the WAIS-R were compared to the summary scores for Kaufman's Brief Intelligence Test (K-BIT) and a seven subtest short form of the WAIS-R. Correlations between verbal, non-verbal, and composite of the full WAIS-R with the K-BIT were significantly lower than the correlations with the WAIS-R shore form. The percentage of cases on the short forms that fell within 5 points of the full WAIS-R was higher for the seven subtest version of the WAIS-R than the K-BIT. Specifically, Verbal, Nonverbal/Performance, and Composite/Full Scale scores on the WAIS-R short form feel within 5 points for 89%, 74%, and 92% of the cases while on the K-BIT only 52%, 40%, and 50% fell within 5 points.Keywords
