Examined the validity coefficients of all possible WISC‐R short forms of 2, 3, 4, and 5 subtests. Comparisons were made between coefficients given by McNemar's and Silverstein's formulass in order to determine “best” short forms for different uses. The result indicated only a slight difference between short forms selected by the two methods.
