Study of WAIS-R, Quick Test and PPVT IQS for neuropsychiatric patients. 1990

D R Price, and D A Herbert, and M L Walsh, and J G Law
Behavior Resources, Inc., Greenville, South Carolina.

As expected, the PPVT and various forms of the Quick Test, all tests of receptive vocabulary, overestimated the three IQs of the WAIS-R, often by more than half a standard deviation for a small sample (N = 30) of psychiatric in-patients. A restricted range of scores may have contributed to spuriously high correlations among the various measures of IQ.
