A comparison was made of the performance of 30 learning-disabled students on the Bender Visual-Motor Gestalt Test and the Beery Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration. A significant correlation of —.72 was obtained. No significant difference was found in estimations of age equivalents. The tests share substantial common (52%) variance.
