“…COMPARISON WITH OTHER TESTS Five additional studies which present comparisons between the Wechsler-Bellevue Scales and other measures appeared prior to 1945. The relationship between the Herring Revision of the Binet-Simon Tests and the Verbal Scale was examined in two studies by Lewinski (10,14), who used as subjects 100 recruits referred to a Naval clinic because of suspected mental retardation. Scale A and Scale B of the Herring Revision showed correlations of .65 and .64 respectively with the Verbal Scale notwithstanding a limited intellectual range.…”

“…Again the solutions have been individual and various, a fact which in itself is extremely encouraging. Both individual and group tests have been evolved which make possible quick but fairly accurate judgments of intelligence in less that 10 minutes (1,5,9). The results suggest that such brief instruments may well have an important later contribution in civilian mental hygiene clinics after the war.…”
