The comparative validities of two tests of general aptitude in an Army Special Training Center

Abstract

This article reports the validity of the Wechsler-Bellevue as compared with that of the Wechsler Scale, Form B. The number of cases involved in the validating coefficients for the Army Wechsler (Form B) was 1,991 as apposed to 367 for the civilian scale, indicating that greater confidence might be placed in the Form B biserial correlations. The greatest difference was found between the results of the Arithmetic subtests. However, the author concludes that the validity for the total Wechsler-Bellevue scale is somewhat the higher.
