21 kindergarten children completed the Stanford-Binet-IV (Binet-IV) and the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities. Kaufman's (1977) estimated General Cognitive Index (GCI) was computed from the entire McCarthy scales. There was only one significant difference among the Binet-IV and estimated GCI scores. Abstract/Visual Reasoning was significantly lower than the Kaufman GCI. Correlations of the five Binet-IV Standard Age Scores and the Kaufman GCI ranged from .29 to .67. The correlation between the GCI and the Kaufman estimated GCI was .91.
