The purpose of this article is to point out that, at least at the top levels of subtest achievement, the Wechsler-Bellevue system of weighted scores distorts the picture of intertest variability. On only seven of the subtests is it possible to achieve the maximum weighted score of 18. Of the remaining four, two stop at 17 weighted points, one at 16, and one at 15. Verbal group suffers very little from this discrimination. If the vocabulary were used instead of the Digit Span, a substitution which the scale permits, an unusually bright subject could score 18 weighted points on each subtest. By doing equally well on all items in this group-that is, attain the maximum raw score possible on each his efforts would be truly reflected by the corresponding weighted credits he would earn.
