✦ Synopsis

Full Scale, Verbal, and Performance IQs were: .91, .87 and .84, respectively, all significant at the .001 level. Retest reliability of all subtests but Similarities ( p .01) also were significant at the .001 level. For the three Wechsler scales, mean and median gain was 5 I& points. The range of gains for individual Ss was wider, however, which suggests that a few Ss have relatively large retest gains that can be attributed to error variance in a normal population over a short retest interval. There was no relationship between initial I& and size of gain.
