Prediction of Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised Full Scale IQ from the Quick Test of Intelligence and the Test of Nonverbal Intelligence for a referred sample of children and youth

As part of comprehensive psychoeducational assessment procedures, the Quick Test of Intelligence, Test of Nonverbal Intelligence, and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised were administered to 89 children and youth, who varied in age from 6-4 to 16-10. The sample consisted of 61 males and 28 females, of whom 37 were Black and 52 White. Regression equations were computed that used the WISC-R Full Scale IQ as criteria and the TONI and QT as predictors. The results clearly indicated that the TONI and QT are equally good predictors of the WISC-R FSIQ. Implications for the clinician are discussed.
