This study was conducted to investigate the factor structure of the K-WISC-Ⅳ subtests. The current sample consisted of 200 children aged 6 to 16 who visited a child and adolescent psychology center. Factor analysis was conducted using the 10 core K-WISC-Ⅳ subtests and Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted using maximum likelihood estimation in Amos 21. The chi-squared difference tests and global fit indices indicated that the four factor model provided a better fit to data than single or five factor models. These findings suggest that factor structures of the K-WISC-Ⅳ subtests consisted of four factors supporting the for four-factor structure described in the K-WISC-Ⅳ technical manual. Additionally, the results provided herein indicate that the four-factor structure of the K-WISC-Ⅳ, as described in the K-WISC-Ⅳ technical manual, can be replicated in children who visit child and adolescent psychology centers.
