    Researchers have evidenced that performance intelligence quotient (PIQ) is higher than verbal IQ (VIQ) in antisocial populations using Wechsler's test series (P>V profile). The WISC-IV has discarded dual intelligence components, PIQ and VIQ; instead, both perceptual reasoning index (PRI) and verbal comprehension index (VCI) are placed. The aim of the present study was to examine the P>V profile of juvenile delinquents using the WISC-IV. Data were elicited from a child guidance center. Collected data of children were classified into three groups: 1) delinquents assessed using the WISC-III (Del-III, n=40), 2) delinquents assessed using the WISC-IV (Del-IV, n=40), and 3) non-delinquents assessed using the WISC-IV (Comparison, n=40). Two-way ANCOVA, adjusted for both age and IQ level as covariates, showed that Del-III group had the largest effect size on the P>V profile and was followed by Del-IV group. Comparison group had no significant difference between P and V. The author concludes that the WISC-IV have measurable power to detect the P>V profile in juvenile delinquents, although not so much as the WISC-III.

    The purpose of the present study is to examine the process of the individual assessment interviews between the psychologists and the juveniles in the juvenile classification home in terms of the intersubjective approach. Using the qualitative research method, this study discusses that various personal experiences are reminded and emotions are evoked in the psychologists' mind by the interactions with the juveniles, and the psychologists carry out the assessment with recognizing and monitoring such personal factors. On the other hand, they attend the session with the hope that they want to support the juveniles. Based on such attitude, the juveniles have the positive impression to the psychologist, and feel safe in the session. The assessment in the juvenile classification home cannot be effective, without taking into consideration the intersubjective interaction between the psychologists and the juveniles because such interaction is projected into the assessment.
