This paper presents a study regarding the correlation of the Stanford-Binet: 4th Edition Intelligence Quotient (IQ) scores with the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) IQ scores for the purpose of improving the identification process for educable mentally handicapped (EMH) school age adolescents and young adults. The sample included 35 subjects, age 17-21, who attend public school in three school districts in northwestern South Carolina. The low correlations between the factors of the WAIS-R and the four area scores of the Stanford (Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, Abstract/Visual Reasoning, and Short Term Memory) indicate that the two instruments will not yield equal estimates of intellectual abililty of adolescent EMH students. Correlations with the highest values indicate that Verbal and Full Scale/Composite scores will range about 10 to 12 points higher on the WAIS-R. The lowered Stanford IQ's suggest that this test may be more appropriate and yield more consistent IQ scores in the EMH range of previously identified EMH adolescents than the WAIS-R. A cursory review of the raw data indicates only slight improvement in retention rate if placement decisions are made based on consistent subnormal measures on all factors. (PN)
