Abstract
The present study examined discrepancies in Verbal and Performance IQs and subtest scatter on the WISC-R for 121 male juvenile delinquents. While statistically significant Verbal-Performance discrepancies and subtest scatter were evidenced, these indices of scatter did not differ from normative data provided by Kaufman in 1976. It was concluded that the WISC-R may not be useful as a differential diagnostic indicator for juvenile delinquency but may be beneficial as a tool for making remedial prescriptive recommendations.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
