Abstract

The nature, frequency and effect of clerical errors in the scoring of the WISC-R were examined. The most frequent errors were those associated with addition tasks and in the calculation of the subject's age at the time of assessment. Some errors, whether occurring singly or in a compounding effect, significantly distorted Full Scale IQ.
