✦ Synopsis

Children who had been nominated as potential candidates for gifted programs were assessed to determine the relationships among certain behavioral and intellectual characteristics. Records were compiled listing 132 first-through eighth-grade children's race, sex, age, grade level, Slosson Intelligence Test (SIT) IQ scores, Scale for Rating Behavioral Characteristics of Superior Students (SRBCSS) scores, and WISC-R 1Qs. Only children achieving SIT IQs of 130 or higher were included. A regression equation for the prediction of a WISC-R Full Scale IQ score from a given SIT score was computed and compared to that developed for predicting the WISC-R 1Q in another study. All variables except SIT IQ were poor predictors of WISC-R IQ scores. A moderate correlation was computed between SIT and WISC-R Verbal and Full Scale IQ scores. A somewhat lower, but still significant, degree of relationship was found between SIT and WISC-R Performance 1Q scores. Some difficulties with using the SIT as a screen for gifted programs are discussed.

The performances of shorter versions of the Geriatric Depression scale (GDS) are examined. A cutoff of 4/5 gives the best sensitivity (80%) and specificity (77%) for the 15-item version (GDS15). A cutoff of 3/4 gives the best sensitivity (75%) and specificity (77%) for the 10-item version (GDSlO). A
