Unusual combinations of Verbal and Performance IQS on Wechsler's Intelligence Scales.
A new method of pattern analysis was used to estimate those combinations of Verbal and Performance IQs that occurred relatively infrequently in the standardization samples for the WAIS-R, the WISC-R, and the WPPSI. A table is presented for evaluating the unusualness of a given combination of VIQ and PIQ on those three scales. Suggestions are offered as to how unusual combinations should, and should not, be interpreted.
