The K‐BIT and the WISC‐R were administered in counterbalanced order to 35 referred students. Although the K‐BIT IQ Composite correlated significantly with the WISC‐R Full Scale IQ scores ( r =.81), the mean scores differed significantly (difference = 6.2 points; p <.001). The results provide moderate support for the K‐BIT as a screening instrument when the WISC‐R is the follow‐up or comprehensive measure of intelligence.
