The Relative Utility of the Shipley-Hartford Scale: Prediction of WAIS-R IQ.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Heinemann, Allen W.; And Others – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1985
Examined Shipley-Hartford Scale effectiveness in predicting Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised Full Scale intelligence quotients (IQ) in hospital patients (N=156). Analyses revealed overestimation of below average Full Scale IQs, underestimation of above average IQs. Advanced age was associated with low conceptual quotients, suggesting that…

The Comparability of Three Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scales in a College Sample.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Quereshi, M. Y.; Ostrowski, Michael J. – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1985
Administered three Wechsler adult intelligence scales to 72 undergraduates and tested the quality of means, variances, and covariances, utilizing subtest scale scores and IQs. Results indicated that the three scales were not parallel. Generally, the subtest scaled scores exhibited less similarity across the three scales than the IQ estimates.…
