Propiedades Psicométricas de la Escala WISC-V en Escolares Rurales Chilenos
Open accessAbstract
In Chile, the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for children (WISC-R and WISC-III) has been used massively in the urban and rural school populations, without having studies on its psychometric adjustment in the rural group. The present study explored the psychometric properties (evidence of internal structure validity and internal consistency) of the WISC-V in rural schoolchildren. An intentional non-probabilistic sample of 160 students between 6 and 16 years of age belonging to 4 educational establishments in the Maule region and 9 in La Araucanía, was evaluated. Three factorial models composed of 7, 10 and 15 subtests were tested. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis show adequate fit indices in these three models, consistent with the theoretical proposal by the author of the scale and especially better for the models with 7 and 10 primary subtests. Regarding reliability, adequate levels of internal consistency are observed, ranging between acceptable and good, in all the subtests in which this indicator could be calculated. Based on these results and for interpretive purposes, the use of the model composed of 10 primary subtests and the CIT as an estimator of general cognitive functioning in the Chilean rural population is recommended.

The WISC-V shows adequate convergent and discriminant validity, particularly as a supporting instrument in the assessment of ADHD and other neurodevelopmental difficulties.
“Likewise, it shows adequate convergent and discriminant validity, particularly as a supporting instrument in the assessment of ADHD and other neurodevelopmental difficulties [37, 38, 39].”
From ADHD, Subtypes and Cognitive Performance: WISC-V as a Support Tool for Diagnostic Assessment (2026) · cites this paper as [38]
The Results section (page unavailable) reports stronger correlations between WISC-V subtests within the same cognitive domain and weaker correlations across domains. The Discussion and Conclusions section describes this as evidence of validity based on internal structure and suggests use for assessing cognitive functioning in rural Chilean children. It does not establish convergent and discriminant validity for assessing ADHD or other neurodevelopmental difficulties. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
