This study examined the relationship between the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test (K-BIT) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-III (WISC-III) in a sample of 63 youth at a psychiatric hospital. The results indicated that a significant relationship between the measures exists. Consequently, a multiple regression equation, which used the composites of the K-BIT to provide an estimate of the WISC-III Full Scale Intelligence Quotient, was derived.
