S ummary . The re‐test stability of the Wechsler Individual Scale for Children was assessed on a small group of psychiatric patients. The reliability coefficients obtained after a six‐month interval were satisfactorily high but significant practice effect increases were detected on the Performance and Full‐Scale scores. Some of the WISC subtests yielded very poor reliability coefficients. No evidence of an association between intelligence test scores and change in psychiatric condition was obtained.
