TI  - Correlations for Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children--Revised and the 
      Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence for Iranian children.
PG  - 27-30
AB  - This study focused on the relationship between the Wechsler Intelligence Scale 
      for Children--Revised (WISC--R) and the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of 
      Intelligence (WPPSI) given to 40 6-yr.-old Iranian children. Pearson correlations 
      between the WISC--R and the WPPSI IQs and between scaled scores on the 
      corresponding subtests were significant. The comparison of mean IQs and scaled 
      scores indicates that the WISC--R yielded a significantly higher Verbal IQ and 
      higher scores on Information, Vocabulary, Comprehension, and Picture Completion 
      than the WPPSI. The mean difference between corresponding Verbal and Full Scale 
      IQs was not significant. These results suggest that scores on the two instruments 
      correlated well for these 6-yr.-old Iranian children and the content on which IQs 
      for the recently restandardized WISC--R and WPPSI are based are related.
