Measuring the intelligence of college students with learning disabilities: a comparison of results obtained on the WAIS-R and the KAIT.

This study compared results obtained on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised and the Kaufman Adolescent Test and Adult Intelligence; these tests were individually administered to college students with and without learning disabilities. Participants were 30 students with learning disabilities and 30 students without learning disabilities between the ages of 18 and 30. Students were administered both IQ tests and the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised, used as a covariate measure. The results were analyzed through a repeated-measures analysis of variance. No significant differences were found between groups or between tests. A significant difference was found for both groups when Performance IQ and Fluid Scale scores were compared.
