This study investigated the comparability of scores on two visual-motor measures for a sample of intellectually bright children ages 4 to 6. Standard scores on the Geometric Design sub-test of the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI) correlated significantly with standard sceres on the Development Test of Visual Motor Integration (VMi), but the VMI yielded significantly lower scores than Geometric Design.
Patterns in Verbal and Performance IQs and subtest scores of 306 young, gifted children were identified on the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI). Results were consistent with previous findings for older gifted subjects on other Wechsler scales; the majority of males and females had higher Verbal than Performance IQs. Likewise, the Verbal IQ mean was significantly higher than the Performance IQ mean for both sexes.
