Abstract
The reliability of subtest composites corresponding to abilities included in Kaufman and Kaufman's (1983) system for interpreting K-ABC profiles was examined. These alternative groupings of subtests demonstrated consistently high reliability. Increasing reliability was related to the number of subtests in a composite. Composites formed by Achievement Scale subtests attained higher reliabilities than those from Mental Processing subtests. The implications for the practitioner analyzing a K-ABC profile are discussed.
