Correlations of Scores of Maximum Security Inmates on Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale—Revised and Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test—Revised

29 men (15 white, 14 black) who were inmates at a maximum security penitentiary were given the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised and the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised on which the full scale IQs correlated .80. This suggests the Peabody would serve as an effective screening test for this population.
