Computed correlations between the subscales of the Wechsler Intelligence Scales for Children‐Revised (WISC‐R) and the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test‐Revised (PPVT‐R) using as a sample 72 adjudicated male delinquents aged 13‐10 to 16‐11. Significant relationships at the 0.0001 level were obtained for 10 subtests with only one, Object Assembly, computed at the 0.001 level. A forward selection multiple regression analysis resulted in six subtests of the WISC‐R correlating to the PPVT‐R with a R 2 value of 0.78. The significance and the implications of this relationship for the juvenile delinquent population were discussed.
