title: Comparison of the WISC-R and culture fair intelligence test in a juvenile delinquent population.
abstract: Culture Fair and WISC-R scores were obtained of 51 delinquent juveniles. Comparison of mean scores on the two tests for minority and white juveniles demonstrated the Culture Fair to be less culturally biased than the WISC-R. On analysis of variance there was a significant difference due to ethnicity and test used, and a significant interaction of those two factors. The interaction was due to the elevation of the score of minority juveniles on the Culture Fair compared with WISC-R scores. Correlations between the WISC-R scores, subtest scale scores, and Culture Fair scores were significant at the .01 level which provides further validation of the WISC-R.
