WAIS profiles in mentally retarded adults.
The present study investigated WAIS indices of scatter in a sample of 83 mentally retarded adults (FIQ, means = 58). Overall subtest scatter was significantly correlated with VIQ, PIQ and FIQ. There was no significant relationship between the discrepancy score (absolute value of the difference between VIQ and PIQ), and VIQ, PIQ and FIQ. The scatter and discrepancy score means were surprisingly large. Analysis of VIQ and PIQ configuration revealed that VIQ greater than PIQ, and PIQ greater than VIQ occurred with nearly equal frequency.
