title: Correlations among scores on the Matrix Analogies Test--Short Form and the WISC--R with gifted youth.
abstract: A study of the correlations between scores on the Matrix Analogies Test--Short Form and the WISC--R was conducted with 39 students enrolled in a Saturday program for the intellectually gifted. The Matrix Analogies Test was group-administered and WISC--R scores were obtained from records required for entry into the program. A significant Pearson r of .52 was found between the Matrix Analogies scores and the Performance IQs of the WISC--R; other correlations were not significant.
