Using a sample of 100 behavior disordered male adolescents, correlations between the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children‐Revised (WISC‐R) and the Woodcock‐Johnson Tests of Cognitive Abilities (WJTCA) were computed. All WISC‐R subtests correlated with the W‐J Broad Cognitive Ability score at the .0001 level. Analysis of the forward selection multiple regression procedure resulted in the inclusion of only WISC‐R Verbal subtests for the first six steps. Implications of such results were discussed and a predictive equation reported.
