Abstract
The Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence-Revised and the Columbia Mental Maturity Scale were given to 51 preschool, kindergarten, first-, and second-grade students. Although two of three Pearson correlations between the two tests were statistically significant, they may not be of practical significance. It is not recommended that the Columbia be substituted for the Wechsler.
