Abstract
One frequently finds researchers and practitioners attempting to identify subtest scoring patterns on the Wechsler Intelligence Scales indicative of learning disabilities. This review notes the many statistical and research design flaws in these studies. In conclusion, the point is made that extant research has not been able to confirm an L.D. pattern and that, probably, the search for an L.D. profile is no longer justified.Keywords
