AND CONCLUSIONS The Wide-Range Vocabulary Test was selected as an instrument t o provide verbal I& equivalent measures a t several Wisconsin Correctional Institutions.Regression equations were constructed for various age groups between Wide-Range raw scores and Otis IQs. The resultant IQ equivalents were then correlated with Otis IQs as well as with WAIS verbal, performance, and fullscale scores. Moderately high, positive correlations were consistently obtained between these I& measures and the Wide-Range I& equivalents. I n general, the Ioregoing results suggested that the Wide-Range Vocabulary Test represented a valuable addition to our screening battery, providing reliable and valid information about level of verbal intelligence at substantially reduced cost and a t approximately one-third the administration and scoring time of the Otis test. I n a subsequent study, t,he relationship of Wide-Range scores to school achievement as well as the relationship between discrepancies in verbal and performance IQs and deficits in general adjustment and school achievement will be assessed.
