Abstract
This study demonstrated that emotionally disturbed children in grades four, five, and six can be identified as effectively through use of a teacher rating scale and a group intelligence test as through use of these two sources of information plus arithmetic achievement, reading achievement, a modified sociometric technique (a class play), and a self-concept inventory. The teacher rating scale and group intelligence test results can be useful in making decisions as to which children should be referred to a psychologist for individual diagnostic study. While contributing little to prediction, other information such as achievement, sociometric status, and self-concept may prove useful in understanding and meeting pupil needs in the educational setting.
