Abstract: The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children--Chinese Revisiot(WISC-CR) was analyzed using principal-component analysis and alphafactor analysis followed by oblique rotations of two and three factors.Three meaningful factors were present for each age group. The VerbalComprehension factor consisted of Information, Similarities, Vocabulary,and Comprehension, while the perceptural organization factor was com-posed of picture Completion, picture Arrangement, Block Design, ObjectAssembly and Maze. The Memory/Freedom from Distractibility factor hadmajor loading on Arithmatic, Digit Span, and Coding. Factor structureof the WISC-CR and WISC-R were very similar. The coefficiets of corre-lation between the WISC-CR and WlSC-R factors were high, the VerbalComprehension factor correlated .971, Percepture Organization factor co-rrelated .969, and the Memory/Freedom from Distractibility factor corr-elated .832.
