Investigated the utility of the Revised Beta as a screening device for low-functioning minority-group criminal offenders. Forty-seven black and Hispanic offenders who scored below 85 on the Beta were administered the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS). Mean scores for this sample were correlated only mildly. Furthermore, the means were not comparable; these offenders scored lower on the Beta than on the WAIS. This finding contradicts prior research and creates the need for caution in using the Beta as a screening device with this population.
研究了修订版贝塔测试作为低功能少数群体犯罪者筛查工具的效用。对47名在贝塔测试中得分低于85分的黑人和西班牙裔犯罪者进行了韦氏成人智力量表（WAIS）测试。该样本的平均得分仅呈轻度相关。此外，平均分不具有可比性；这些犯罪者在贝塔测试中的得分低于韦氏成人智力量表测试中的得分。这一发现与先前的研究相矛盾，因此在对这一群体使用贝塔测试作为筛查工具时需要谨慎。
