Abstract

We present the results of the Chilean adaptation and standarization of WISC-III. The sample for the study consisted in 1924 children obtained from a ramdomized stratified sampling considering the regions of Chile. Results show a great coincidence with those obtained in the original north-american sample: we obtained the same four intelligence factors and high internal consistencies. Nevertheless, the subscales included in the factors differ slightly from the north-american results. © 2008 Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.
