Investigated the utility of profile analysis, using the WISC‐R to differenntiate learning disabled from emotionally disturbed and nonhandicapped children. Little evidence was found to support the use of WISC‐R subtest scatter, and profile analysis was discussed. Research efforts that focus upon the meaning of WISC‐R subtests in relation to the learning process were recommended.
