Profile analysis with Wechsler scales has a long history in school psychology. Many see profile analysis as a useful hypothesis generating procedure that could assist in diagnostic decisions; however, numerous limitations have been associated with the procedure. Consequently, the present study sought to investigate the prevalence and diagnostic utility of multiple WISC-III profiles by comparing 2,273 children with learning disabilities (LD) to 2,158 children in the WISC-III standardization sample. Further analyses explored subsamples of children with specific reading and math disabilities. Results indicated that the presence of a WISC-III profile would not lead to decisions that are useful in discriminating among children with LD and children without disabilities. For instance, WISC-III profiles examined in this study exhibited low sensitivity and moderate to high specificity. Additionally, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, quantified by the area under the curve (AUC), showed that all WISC-III profiles demonstrated low diagnostic utility. Consequently, the use of WISC-III profiles was not recommended for diagnosing LD.
