The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test—Revised, Form L was compared with the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children—Revised with a sample of 32 mild/moderate handicapped students (24 boys, 8 girls). Significant correlations were found between the WISC—R Full Scale IQ (.46) and the WISC—R Verbal IQ (.50) and the PPVT—R, but no significant correlation was found between the WISC—R Performance IQ and the PPVT—R (.34). Mean scores on the PPVT—R and WISC—R were significantly different.
