The low correlation on the Object Assembly seems to be an artifact of the differences between the scoring format of the subtest on the two IQ scales. The WAIS scoring technique is much more discriminating than that of the WB, allowing for a higher ceiling to be reached on it. A somewhat greater spread of scores was found for the WAIS than for the WB on this subtest. Because many subjects achieved a low ceiling score on the WB Object Assembly, while varying in their corresponding WAIS scores, the correlation was severely attenuated.
