The data revealed a significant effect confirming that the full scale score results obtained from the WISC and WISC-R in struments were different. In addition, a significant in teraction of race of subject and instrument indicated that while both White and Black subjects' full scale WISC-R scores were lower than WISC full scale scores, only for the Black subjects was the difference signifi cant.
