Administered the 1973 revision of the Henmon‐Nelson and the WAIS to 100 psychiatric patients. The correlation of Henmon‐Nelson raw scores with WAIS Full Scale scaled score was 0.83, which compared favorably with correlations run between several other short IQ tests and the WAIS in similar samples drawn from the same setting in earlier studies. However, the HenmonNelson did not appear able to estimate the WAIS IQs of low‐intelligence S s or aged persons with consistent accuracy. The validities of short IQ tests and current practices in the selection of WAIS surrogates were discussed.
