Abstract
Examiner-subject interaction influenced the administration and scoring of 3 subtests (Information, Comprehension, and Similarities) of the W-B II. A response given by a warm S received more credit than a similar response given by a cold S. "Objective" judgment was affected in scoring. Examiners tended to be more lenient to warm Ss. 15 refs.
