Abstract

A comparison was made between the Slosson Intelligence Test and the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities for 44 minority preschool children. The mean Slosson score was 13.8 points higher than the mean McCarthy score and the correlation between scores on the two tests was .81. One source of this discrepancy in means may be the heavy reliance the Slosson has upon the 1960 Stanford-Binet. The potential effects of inflated Slosson scores relative to McCarthy scores for screening purposes are discussed.
