The usefulness of the newly developed Miller Assessment for Preschoolers in predicting intelligence and educational achievement after 4 yr. was examined for a follow-up sample of 338 children. The Total score produced the strongest correlations with the WISC—R and Woodcock-Johnson Psychoeducational Battery (.35 to .50). Convergent validity data for subscales was also obtained. Implications for prescreening decisions were discussed.
