✦ Synopsis

The WISC-111 and Kaufman Adolescent and Adult Intelligence Test (KAIT) were administered to 30 delinquents in a county youth center as part of their routine psychological assessment. The P > V discrepancy found in earlier studies of delinquent WISC-R IQs was not found with the WISC-111. However, the Fluid IQs on the Kaufmans' test averaged 1 1 IQ-points higher than the WISC-111 IQs. There was a mean difference of 8.66 points between the KAIT Composite IQ and the WISC-111 FSIQ, in favor of the former. These findings suggest KAIT IQs that are significantly higher than WISC-111 scores ( p < .001). The implications are discussed.
