The factor structures of the WISC and the WISC‐R were compared, using the data for age groups 7.5, 10.5, and 13.5 years in the two standardization samples. The results for three different types of solution—hierarchical, multiple‐group, and principal‐factor—agreed in demonstrating that the structures of the two scales are as similar as the structure of either scale is for different age groups.
