The accuracy of Payne and Jones's (1957) formula for evaluating the abnormality of test score differences was checked against the actual distribution of Verbal‐Performance IQ discrepancies in the standardization sample for the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale‐Revised. The results given by the formula appear sufficiently accurate for most clinical applications and support the formula's use when the actual distribution of differences is unknown.
