The summed scores of the WISC‐R dyad, Vocabulary and Block Design, were cross‐tabulated with full scale WISC‐R scores for 249 children referred to a gifted program. The initial results indicated that the Vocabulary‐Block Design dyad could be a useful tool in predicting full scale IQ for some children and thus leave time available for other types of assessment of students.
