IQ test selection could be life-or-death decision: WAIS v SB score differences in ID/MR sample
Monday, February 15th, 2010Interesting article “in press” in Intelligence that compares WAIS and Stanford Binet IQ scores (across different editions except the current SB5 and WAIS-IV) for adults with intellectual disability (ID/MR). Although the mixing together of scores across different editions makes it impossible to make SB/WAIS-specific edition comparisons, the finding that the WAIS scores were, on the average (mean), almost 17 points higher may surprise many psychologists. The authors discuss the real-life implications (i.e., Atkins ID death penalty decisions; eligibility for SS benefits, etc.) of different scores from different tests. As outlined in a prior IAP AP101 special report , differences of this magnitude between different IQ tests should not be surprising.
