Relationships between Scores of Gifted Children on Stanford-Binet IV and Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised

Abstract

Thirty-nine children enrolled in the gifted curriculum in the public schools in a midwest community of 27,000 were tested with the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale: Fourth Edition. Correlations were then calculated between the scores of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children—Revised, obtained from the students' files, and the scores of the Stanford-Binet. Only the correlation between the Stanford-Binet Verbal Reasoning standard age scores and the Wechsler Verbal IQs was statistically significant (p < .01). The Stanford-Binet Short-Term Memory standard age score mean was between 12 and 24 points lower than the means of the other Stanford-Binet and Wechsler scores.
