Cluster subtypes in the WISC-III standardization sample: analysis of factor index scores
Article Abstract:
Two-stage cluster analysis exclusively based on factor index scores reveals five subtypes of Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Third Edition (WISC-III) performance. Three of the five subtypes are differentiated by the levels of performance, while the other two are differentiated in terms of the relative efficacy of the processing speed factor. The cluster subtypes are not differentiated in terms of age. Parental educational level also covary directly with WISC-III performance level.
