    Author: Grados JJ, Russo-Garcia KA.
    Journal: J Clin Psychol; 1999 Sep; 55(9):1063-71. PubMed ID: 10576321.
    Abstract:
    The Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test (K-BIT; Kaufman & Kaufman, 1990) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Third Edition (WISC-III; Wechsler, 1991) are compared in 35 economically disadvantaged African American youth presenting for treatment in a community mental health setting. Significant correlations were found between K-BIT Composite and WISC-III Full Scale IQ scores. Results revealed significant differences between K-BIT and WISC-III scores; K-BIT Composite and Matrices mean scores were found to be 6 and 11 points higher than respective WISC-III Full Scale IQ and Performance IQ mean scores. No significant differences were obtained between K-BIT Vocabulary and WISC-III Verbal IQ scores. Our findings support the authors' recommendations for use of the Matrices subtest alone with African American youth from economically disadvantaged backgrounds (Kaufman & Kaufman, 1990).
