The WAIS and the WAIS‐R were administered in a single composite form to 17 neuropsychological assessment clients and 25 volunteers drawn from hospital staff and the general public. Despite other evidence that suggests that the performance of New Zealanders sometimes may deviate from American norms, our subjects showed the same pattern of high correlations and significant differences between WAIS and WAIS‐R IQ scores and subtest scores reported in several American studies. Picture Arrangement was the only subtest on which WAIS scores were not significantly greater than WAIS‐R scores, which again confirms previous research.
