Comparisons of the revised PPVT (PPVT‐R) and the WISC‐R were made with 67 EMR students. Significant differences were found between the PPVT‐R mean standard scores and Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale IQs. The PPVT‐R did not correlate significantly with the WISC‐R scales or subtests, suggesting the tests are measuring different abilities.
