The issue of whether the WISC-R and the Estimated Learning Potential score obtained from the System of Multicultural Pluralistic Assessment are culture-fair assessment devices for school children was examined by comparing correlations with three separate learning tasks. The results do not support claims that the SOMPA is a superior instrument for predicting learning potential in a school environment. Scores on each instrument correlated as highly with the learning tasks as did Cattell's Culture Fair Intelligence Tests, an instrument designed to be a relatively unbiased measure of intelligence.
