Comparison of Scores on the WISC-R and the Stanford-Binet, Fourth Edition, for Rural Gifted Students

Abstract

The WISC-R and Stanford-Binet, Fourth Edition scores of 40 gifted students were compared. The results indicate that the mean WISC-R Full Scale IQ was 13.52 points higher than the mean SB:FE composite score. The T-test between the two scores was significant at the .001 level. Eleven of the fifteen possible correlations were significant, with two at the .001 level, three at the .01 level, and six at the .05 level.
