Abstract
Abstract This study examined the relative value of the 1981 renorming of the Slosson Intelligence Test (SIT). Individual IQ and reading expectancy scores were determined for 180 children referred to a university reading clinic. Both the 1963 and 1981 SIT norms were compared with scores obtained from the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children‐Revised (WISC‐R). Correlational and descriptive analyses indicated that the 1981 norms were somewhat superior to the 1963 norms in approximating the WISC‐R scores. Specifically, the new norms: (1) yielded a higher percentage of exact same individual IQ scores, (2) provided a more balanced distribution of over‐ and underestimation, (3) closely resembled the overall WISC‐R mean and standard deviation, and (4) exhibited a slightly higher correlation with WISC‐R reading expectancy scores. Although the new SIT was found to serve reasonably well as a quick estimate of intellectual ability, it was concluded that the instrument should not be used as an extended substitute f...
