Stability of the WISC‐R subtest profile for 161 learning disabled (LD) children over a 7‐month test‐retest interval was examined. A unique subtest profile reported earlier (Smith, Coleman, Dokecki, & Davis, 1977a) was replicated. Performance IQ was significantly greater than Verbal IQ at both testing occasions. A mean test‐retest increase was observed for Performance IQ, but not for Verbal IQ.
