Analysis and Comparison of WISC-III Weighted Sum Score Factor Models Using Two Independent Samples.

Whether the one- or two-factor Wechsler or weighted sum scores (WSS) structural models adequately fit the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children III (WISC-III) covariance matrices was studied with samples of 2200 and 1118 children from previous studies. Both the WSS and supplemented models provided better fit than Wechsler's model but still required modification. (SLD)
