| Popis: | Culture Fair and WISC-R scores were obtained from 116 juvenile delinquents in three ethnic groups. There were significant differences among the three ethnic groups (41 whites, 46 blacks, 30 Mexican-Americans) for the WISC-R Full Scale, Verbal, Performance, and Culture Fair IQ scores. Pearson correlations between WISC-R scores and the Culture Fair scores for the combined groups were generally significant ranging from .58 to .64. The Culture Fair provides a rapid screening device for intellectual ability which more nearly equates the IQs of the three ethnic groups. For a complete assessment of intellectual capacity with ethnic minorities both the Culture Fair and WISC-R should be used. |
