Factor analyses of WAIS‐R standardization data for samples grouped by sex and race (Black‐White) produced congruent factors for the various samples and offered good support for Wechsler's two‐scale division of the subtests. The factor structures for males and females produced some interesting differences across the age range that were related to sex‐related findings in studies of patients with unilateral brain damage. Additionally, Black males and Black females seemed to use different strategies for solving Wechsler's verbal and nonverbal subtests.
