“…The CVS consists of the comprehension and similarities items of the Wechsler-Bellevue and a vocabulary scale based on the Stanford-Binet word list. The CVS correlates with a classification test simliar to the AGCT on the order of .80 (1), and in an analysis conducted by this writer, using 37 normal Ss, the AGCT and CVS were found to have an r of .75 (t = 6.61,p< .001).…”

“…After completion of the discrimination series, S was given the Bender-Gestalt Test (1,12) as part of another study and the CVS Individual Intelligence Scale (10). The CVS contains the Comprehension and Similarities subtests of the Wechsler-Bellevue scale (20) and a short vocabulary test, based on the Stanford-Binet word list (16,18).…”

“…-This paper is based, in part, on a doctoral dissertation (Schwartz, 1965) The present study added material by using the individual s~~btests of the C-V-S Abbreviated Individual Intelligence Scale (Hunt & French, 1952) containing Comprehension, Vocabulary, and Similarities subtests, in various combinations such as each subtest alone, combinations of two subtests, and all three subtests combined. Jones ( 1959) used data from WAIS Vocabulary and Comprehension subtests and found that as the amount of the Vocabulary subtest protocol was lengthened and, also, as the Comprehension protocol was added, the validity of the judgments remained unaffected.…”

Sumn2a~y.--45 Ph.D. clinicians, with at least 4 yr. post-doctoral clinical experience, made a diagnostic judgment from the C-V-S Intelligence Scale protocols of 10 Ss in normal, retardate, organic, process, and reactive schizophrenic categories ( n = 5 0 ) , with judges grouped on the basis of number of subtests (1, 2, or all 3) and type of subtest information (various combinations of C, V, and S) used. Correct diagnose (validity) using 1, 2, or 3 subtests significantly exceeded chance. Contrary to the hypothesized relationship, diagnostic accuracy did not increase when the number of subtesrs to be judged was increased. Interjudge agreement (reliability) increased significantly as a function of increasing information. Methodological factors in studies assessing validity and reliability of clinical judgment were cited.The two factors that have received the most attention from researchers in the area of psychodiagnostic clinical judgment have been the validity and reliability of these judgments. In one particularly extensive series of judgmental stitdies (Hunt & Jones, 1962) these factors are encountered in the form of correctness of diagnosis and inrer-judge agreement. The present study investigates accuracy of diagnosis and inter-judge agreement as a function of varying the amount of information to be judged and as a function of the diagnostic categories being studied.The relationship between the amount of information presented to a judge and the correctness of his predicrion has rypically followed the approach of selectively adding or subtracting sources of information and then measuring the resultant increment or decrement in accoracy. Investigations by Kostlan ( 1954) and by Sines (1959) have indicated that accuracy can be increased as more data are made available to the jcdge. T o the contrary, however, Soskin ( 1959), Weiss ( 1963 ) , and others reported no increment in accuracy with increased amounts of information. For the most part, these studies varied amount of information by employing data such as biographical sketches, interviews, MMPI, and Rorschach protocols.
