Figure 1

Scatterplot of the correlation between the NLV-generated IQ-score estimate (i.e., norm score) and the WAIS-IV Full-Scale IQ of Study 1. Note that the residuals (i.e., the distance of each data-point to the regression line) range from –18.857 to 23.452 (with a standard deviation of 11.807), indicating the imprecision of the NLV to estimate the WAIS-IV IQ.
