Focus on “Intelligence” as an Individual Difference

There are two commonly used tools to look at difference in intelligence:  The WISC-R and the Woodcock Johnson Cognitive Test.  These tests are (often/sometimes?) used to determine a critical difference between “achievement” and “ability” relative to classroom curricula.  These discrepancies may be used to determine eligibility for special education.  Here is a link for WISC-V
