COMPARISON OF THE STANFORD-BINET INTELLIGENCE SCALE- FORM L-M AND THE STANFORD-BINET INTELLIGENCE SCALE FOURTH EDITION

Abstract

Summary.-Composite standard age scores and the four Area standard age scores of the Standard-Binet Fourth Edition (SBIV) were each compared to the Stanford-Binet Form L-M IQs of 30 ll-yr.-old public school children. The Pearson correlation of the total scores was .72, while the correlations of the SBIV Area scores and Form L-M IQs ranged from .81 (Verbal Reasoning vs LM), .72 (Quantitarive Reasoning vs L-M), .47 (Short-term Memory vs LM) to .40 (Absuact/Visual Reasoning vs L-M). Classification by IQ suggested that both tests tend to categorize individuals similarly, and no sex biases were obtained.
