A Wherry hierarchial factor analysis was performed on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children subtest scores for 90 disadvantaged white and black boys and girls, ages 10 to 11 years, whose full scale IQs ranged from 80 to 95. A hierarchial arrangement of abilities congruent with Vernon's structure of intellectual theory was obtained. The obtained arrangement consisted of two factors defined as a verbal factor equivalent to v:ed and a performance factor equivalent to k:m. The factor structure remained stable across age groups, and similar factors were exhibited by both ethnic groups. The factors found in the present study support early findings which suggest that the WISC Verbal and Performance subtests are not functionally pure
