This study compared the three scales of the WISC and the WISC‐R for degree of intercorrelation. The differences among scores and among variances were also computed for the two tests. Fifty‐eight subjects from a clinical referred population were studied, including children classified as EMR, Learning Disabled, Emotionally Disturbed, and children in regular classrooms. Results included significant correlations in all cases, no systematic changes in variance, and significantly lower IQs on the WISC‐R for all children in this sample, except the EMRs.
