Comparison of WAIS and WAIS-R IQs from Two Equivalent College Populations

Illinois State University

James J. Johnson

Illinois State University

The present investigation compared the WAIS (N = 39) and WAIS-R (N = 35) IQs of two groups of college undergraduates (aged 17 to 22) judged to be comparable in aptitude as measured by ACT scores. The WAIS-R IQs were found to be significantly lower than the WAIS IQs and approximate those reported by Wechsler for a group aged 35 to 44. The WAIS/WAIS-R differences have important implications in the use of these tests in school and clinical settings. Correlations of the WAIS and the WAIS-R IQs with the Composite and the subscale scores of the ACT indicate that the WAIS-R IQs are more congruent with ACT test results than WAIS IQs.
