Problems of using standardized tests with multicultural/multilingual Alaskan native students include cultural bias and examiner bias. The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) was administered to 320 Alaskan native children in an attempt to establish local norms for the WISC-R. Results showed that bicultural/bilingual children in rural Alaska seemed to perform within the normal range for the norming sample on performance items requiring receptive knowledge of English. Verbal scores, however, showed a wide discrepancy with rural native Ss scoring significantly lower than the norming sample. The full scale IQ was also lower for the native Ss. (CL)
