TI  - Factor structure of the WPPSI in mental health clinic settings.
PG  - 805-8
AB  - Factor analyzed the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI) 
      scores of children (N = 181) seen at several outpatient mental health clinics. A 
      two-factor solution that approximated Wechsler's grouping into Verbal and 
      Performance sections was extracted. The Arithmetic subtest, however, loaded 
      strongly onto both factors. The results suggest that the structure of 
      intelligence for emotionally disturbed children is similar to that for normal 
      children. The results also suggest that WPPSI profile analysis that uses subtest 
      scores may be invalid in clinical settings because the specific variance of most 
      subtests was low and because error variance exceeded specific subtest variance 
      for half of the subtests. Further research is needed to clarify the utility of 
      the WPPSI in outpatient clinical settings.
