Compared the WISC‐R and Leiter International Performance Scale IQs for a sample of 42 educationally handicapped adolescents, who ranged in age from 13.1 to 16.5 years. Pearson product‐moment correlation coefficients and correlated t ‐values were computed for the data analyses. The results indicated a pattern of positive correlations between WISC‐R Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale scores and Leiter scores. WISC‐R Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale IQs were found to be significantly higher than Leiter IQs. The findings suggest the generally the same pattern exists for the WISC‐R and Leiter as for the WISC and Leiter.
