- Description:
- The primary purpose of this study was to determine the criterion-related validity of the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale: Fourth Edition (SBIV). Composite Standard Age Scores (CSAS) and the four Area Standard Age Scores (Verbal Reasoning Age (VRAS), Quantitative Reasoning Age Score (QRAS), Abstract/Visual Reasoning Age Score (A/VRAS), and Short-Term Memory Age Score (STMAS) of the SBIV were compared to the Verbal (VIQ), Performance (PIQ) and Full Scale IQ Score (FSIQ) of the WISC-R. Fifty-one exceptional Black males, previously identified as mentally retarded, learning disabled, and/or behavior disorder, in grades 1-8 participated in the study. The Pearson r correlation of the total scores was.87, while the correlation of the SBIV Area Scores and the WISC-R subscale scores ranged from .984 (A/VRAS vs PIQ) to .64 (STMAS vs VIQ). Major findings of the study suggest that: (1) there were statistically significant correlations found between the Composite Standard Age Score and the four Area Standard Age Scores f the SBIV when correlated with the Verbal, Performance and Full-Scale IQ Scores of the WISC-R, (2) there were no statistically significant mean differences between the Composite Standard Age Score and the four Area Standard Age Scores of the SBIV when correlated with the Verbal, Performance and Full-Scale IQ Scores from the WISC-R, and the number of classifications by the IQs suggests that both tests categorize individuals similarly.
