A Comparison of the Ability of the D-48 Test and the Ipat Culture Fair Intelligence Test To Predict SRA Achievement Test Scores for 8Th and 9Th Grade Students
Two culture free intelligence tests, the D-48 Test and the IPAT Culture Fair Intelligence Test, were correlated with composite scores on the SRA Achievement Test for groups of 150 8th grade and 173 9th grade students. The two tests were also correlated with ethnic identification of the subjects. Results showed that the two intended culture-free measures were valid predictors of the achievement test scores at both grade levels. Highly significant correlation coefficients were observed between ethnic membership and (a) each of the so-called culture free tests and (b) the achievement test.
