A comparison of the Kaufman brief intelligence test (K-BIT) with the Stanford-Binet,a two-subtest short form,and the Kaufman test of educational achievement (K-TEA) brief form

The relationship between the K-BIT, the Stanford-Binet, a two-subtest short form, and the K-TEA was examined with a population of 75 academically referred students. The K-BIT correlated significantly with the Stanford-Binet (.81) and the K-TEA Math (.57), Reading (.58), and Spelling (.47) scores. The mean K-BIT IQ Composite (76.5) averaged 5.1 points lower than the mean Stanford-Binet Test Composite (81.6). The results tend to support the use of the K-BIT as a screening instrument when the Stanford-Binet is the follow-up or comprehensive measure of intelligence.
