| Description | Report titled 'S.P. Test Follow-Up Report No. 8' (no. 31) by Philip E. Vernon.
The report begins by outlining SP Test scores of naval and army offiers. These are not only important for setting qualification standars, but are also useful in validating test batteries. The report presents a number of evidence related to the topic at hand which was collected by numerous psychologists. The distributions and means of scores for a number of tests are presented, including: Test 0, Matrix, Test 1, Shipley Vocabulary, Verbal Intelligence Test, Test 33, Test 2, Test 3, Army Arithmetic Test, and Test 4. General consensus indicated that potentiatial officers will score higher on these tests, and the implications of using various statistical tests to assess this is presented. Test score results are compared across groups of tested individuals by ranks. |
