Abstract
Ten questions with culturally specific American content from the WAIS-R Information subtest were examined empirically for level of difficulty for Canadian subjects. Rank order and chi square analyses showed that accuracy scores (p-values) for these questions differed significantly from the p-values of the WAIS-R (Wechsler, 1981) normative sample for the majority of these items for this sample (N = 95). Nine of 10 Canadian substitutes were found to reflect more accurately the difficulty level of the original standardization data.
