Authors tested the validity of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Third Edition (PPVT-III) as a screening measure for intelligence and achievement. The PPVT-III and Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (KABC) were administered to 416 African American children of low socioeconomic status in a counterbalanced design. Results indicated that the PPVT-III correlated .58 with the KABC Mental Processing Composite (MPC) score; however, participants scored significantly lower (M = 8.3 points) on the PPVT-III than on the MPC. Although receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses supported the use of the PPVT-III as a valid intellectual and achievement screener, the selection of a single cutoff score for the PPVT-IIJ was problematic. The purpose of the screening program should guide selection of a cutoff score for the PPVT-III.

Key Words: Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Third Edition (PPVT-III) • validity • screener • minority • children • Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (KABC)
