The purpose of the present study was to determine the degree to which performance on the McCarthy Scaies of Children's Abilities correlated with performance on the Stanford‐Binet for a group of preschoolers. The sample consisted of 44 children ranging in age from 3–11 to 5–4. It was found that the General Cognitive Index scores of the McCarthy Scales correlated well with the Stanford‐Binet IQ scores, r xy = .90. However, 40 of the 44 subjects scored higher on the Stanford‐Binet than on the McCarthy Scales.
