[Assessment of intelligence of 6-year-old children--practical comparability of HAWIVA-III and HAWIK-IV].
OBJECTIVE
The present study focuses on the practical comparability of HAWIVA-III and HAWIK-IV test results.


METHODS
HAWIVA-III and HAWIK-IV were administered in counterbalanced order to N=45 6-year-old children. The study presents means, standard deviations, and uncorrected and corrected correlations, as well as standard differences. Regression analysis was used to predict IQ values.


RESULTS
There is a significant positive correlation between indices of HAWIVA-III and HAWIK-IV (VT/SV: r=.81; HT/WLD: r=.86; VG/VG: r=.77) and between the two Full Scale IQs (r=.91). Predicted WISC-IV values based on WPPSI-III indices are reported.


CONCLUSIONS
The results of this study indicate that there is a close relation between HAWIVA-III and HAWIK-IV. Therefore, HAWIK-IV-results can be compared with diagnostic findings assessed by HAWIVA-III.
