Correlations of Scores of Maximum Security Inmates on Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale—Revised and Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test—Revised

Abstract

29 men (15 white, 14 black) who were inmates at a maximum security penitentiary were given the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale—Revised and the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test—Revised on which the full scale IQs correlated .80. This suggests the Peabody would serve as an effective screening test for this population.
