Additional data are provided concerning the use of the Quick Test as a measure of general intelligence. In addition to providing local normative data, an attempt is made to examine accuracy of estimation of IQ by the QT at different levels of intelligence. Results for a sample of 63 adult psychiatric inpatients indicate high correlation and minimal mean differences when QT and WAIS IQs are compared. Correlations are also presented comparing all QT forms with WAIS subtests.
