Abstract: Peabody Picturp Vocabulary Test (PPVT L. M. Dunn 1965) is oneof the most widely used intelligence tests recommended by the AmericaAssociation of Mental Deficiency. Taking into account the localconditions in China, we have revised the PPVT and applied a standardi-zed test to 764 children aged 3(1/2)-8 in Shanghai by drawing up a mentalage scale, an intelligence quotient and a percentile scale. Coefficientsfor test retest relibility r=0.945;for interobserver reliability r=0.913;forsplit-half reliability r=0.945;for standard error of measurement r=4.5The Validity correlation coefficients of inter-tests are as follows: "Item50"r=0.478;"Draw a man" r=0.466;the full IQ of WPPST r=0.590;theverbal IQ of WPPSI r=0.531;the performance IQ of WPPSI r=0.427;Chinese exam r=0.652;maths exam r=0.609. This test has been applied to more than 5,000 children, and hasproved to be a simple and convenient general intelligence screening testsuitable for groups, and worth popularization in the fields of pediatricsand child education.
