A Comparison of WISC-III Short Forms for Screening Gifted Elementary Students in Canada

Betty A. Reiter

Calgary Board of Education, bareiter{at}cbe.ab.ca

This investigation explored the accuracy of six short forms of the WISC-III in estimating the Full Scale IQ of potentially gifted elementary students in Canada. Data from the WISC-III Canadian standardization study served as the analysis sample (n = 192), while WISC-III archival data obtained from a large urban school division in Western Canada was used for the cross validation sample (n = 1,058). When psychometric soundness and clinical utility were considered together with discriminating power, the Dumont-Faro short form (Information, Vocabulary, Picture Completion, Coding, Block Design) emerged as being the best short form for screening potentially gifted elementary students. The use of this short form would save time and resources without sacrificing accuracy. Recommendations for the practical application of the Dumont-Faro short form in school psychology practice are provided.
