A new method of pattern analysis was used to estimate those combinations of Verbal and Performance IQs that occurred relatively infrequently in the standardization samples for the WAIS‐R, the WISC‐R, and the WPPSI. A table is presented for evaluating the unusualness of a given combination of VIQ and PIQ on those three scales. Suggestions are offered as to how unusual combinations should, and should not, be interpreted.
