Construct validity of the WISC-R mexicano
- "It is presumed that intelligence should relate to academic performance, socioeconomic status, family size, urbanization and adaptive behavior. Analysis of various subtests should show a substantial first principal component and factors identifiable as Verbal and Performance abilities. These hypotheses were all supported. There should not be great ability differences across geographic regions of the same country, nor across subscales of the same test. These hypotheses were not supported."
- "Can the WISC-R Mexicano, a translation of Wechsler's Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised, be considered a valid measure of intelligence? In this dissertation, intelligence is defined as the general ability to make correct responses in a variety of situations. Construct validity is tested by the development of a framework of hypotheses regarding the characteristics and correlates of intelligence."
- "The WISC-R Mexicano appears to be a measure of intelligence, similar but not equivalent to the WISC-R. Of particular concern are the low correlations with school performance measures, significant ethnic group by subtest interactions and significant regional differences, particularly on Verbal measures. The question of construct validity is answered in terms of more or less. The answer in this case is 'less'. The WISC-RM may be useful for the identification of gifted children, but is inappropriate for identifying children as either mentally handicapped or learning disabled."
