摘要:For the development of a short form of the Korean Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (K-WPPSI),360 preschool and primary school children were tested with 4 subtests: Object Assembly,Arithmetic,Block Design,and Comprehension. Transformed scores were derived according to K-WPPSI norms. Interscorer reliability coefficients measured by two independent scorers with the data of 16 children were satisfactory: Comprehension,.92;Arithmetic,.94;Block Design,.97;Object Assembly,.97 Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient for the 4 subtests were very similar to those for the original K-WPPSI,ranging between .71 and .92. Factor analyses revealed 2 factors corresponding to Wechsler`s 2 factor theory of intelligence. Discriminant validity was obtained with a Picture-Vocabulary test. Boys performed slightly better than girls on all subtests except for Comprehension. Boys significantly out-performed girls in Arithmetic.
