Abstract
30 patients in a D. V. A. hospital were given both the QT and the WAIS. Correlations between the QT and the Full Scale WAIS, Verbal WAIS, Performance WAIS, and Vocabulary subtest of the WAIS were all significantly different from zero. Examination of the correlation coefficients suggested that the QT measures much the same abilities as does the WAIS, although the QT is predominantly a vocabulary comprehension test. Because the QT is easier to give, it was felt that the QT might often be used instead of the WAIS when one is interested in quickly assessing IQ in an applied setting.
