Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised scores of a male delinquent sample were grouped by Bannatyne's classification of Wechsler's subtests, and these recategorized scores were compared with results of a previous study of learning disabled children.

The findings failed to support a theory that LD youth possess a unique pattern of recategorized scores.
