1 Test Scores, Norms, and Score Interpretation PSY 721 Scores and Norms 1 What We Will Cover in This Section. Test scores Norms Types of interpretation PSY 721 Scores and Norms 2 Raw Score Count or sum of the number of items endorsed or number of items correctly answered. PSY 721 Scores and Norms 3 1
2 Norms Norm Norms Norming Behavior that is usual or typical for members of a group. Reference scores against which an individual s scores are compared. Process of establishing norms for a test. Norman A fat guy who drinks beer in Cheers. PSY 721 Scores and Norms 4 Establishing Norms 1. Target population. 2. Standardization sample. 3. Norm Group. - Size. - Geographic representation. - Socioeconomic level. - Ethnic composition. PSY 721 Scores and Norms 5 PSY 721 Scores and Norms 6 2
3 PSY 721 Scores and Norms 7 Types of Norms PSY 721 Scores and Norms 8 Reference Groups National norms. Regional norms. Local norms. Sub-group norms. PSY 721 Scores and Norms 9 3

5 Developmental: Age Norms Uses. Initially for establishing mental age. BASAL AGE highest age at and below which all tests are passed. Issues. Mental age units are not constant with chronological age. Rapid growth spurts. Not an interval scale. Cannot be interpreted as overall performance. PSY 721 Scores and Norms 13 Developmental: Grade Norms Uses. Educational achievement tests. May be expressed in years and months. Issues. Instructional content varies from school to school. Not really relevant at high school level. Interpretation. PSY 721 Scores and Norms 14 Developmental: Ordinal Scales Uses. Behavioral and cognitive development. Piaget. Gesell. Issues. Assume one level is prerequisite to the next. PSY 721 Scores and Norms 15 5
6 Major Issue 1. How do you compare performance of different people across different forms of a test? 2. How to compare performance of people on the same test across different administration techniques? PSY 721 Scores and Norms 16 Equating Process of establishing the relationship between scores on alternate forms of a test or the same test across time. PSY 721 Scores and Norms 17 Equating: Same Sample Technique 1. Get a large representative sample of examinees. 2. Give half the sample form A and the other half form B. 3. Compute the mean and standard deviation for each form. 4. Compute the z-scores for the raw scores for each test. 5. For ease of interpretation transform the z-scores to some common transformed score. PSY 721 Scores and Norms 18 6
7 Equating: Different Sample Technique 1. Identify a sample of key questions from the earlier test version. 2. Insert these items in the current version of the test. 3. Compare the performance on the key questions across the two groups. PSY 721 Scores and Norms 19 National Anchor Norms Uses Compare performance on different tests. Issues. Does not imply that the tests are interchangeable. Different psychometric properties. PSY 721 Scores and Norms 20 Within Group Comparisons PSY 721 Scores and Norms 21 7
8 Percentile Percent of people in the standardization sample who fall at or below a given score. PSY 721 Scores and Norms 22 PSY 721 Scores and Norms 23 Percentiles: Benefits & Issues Benefits. Easy to compute. Easy to understand. Suitable to all tests. Widely used. Good if the distribution is normal. Issue. Inequality of units at extremes of the normal curve. Problem if the distribution is not normal. PSY 721 Scores and Norms 24 8
9 Quartiles Divides the distribution into four groups each containing 25% of the sample. PSY 721 Scores and Norms 25 Q 1 Q 2 Q 3 PSY 721 Scores and Norms 26 Standard Scores A score that has been converted from one scale into another scale. PSY 721 Scores and Norms 27 9
10 Concept µ -2σ -1σ 0σ +1σ +2σ -2z -1z 0z +1z +2z PSY 721 Scores and Norms 28 z-scores z = X s M PSY 721 Scores and Norms 29 Example Mean = 50 SD = 10 What is the z score for a raw score of 65? What is the z score for a raw score of 45? Z = (65 50)/10 Z = 15/10 Z = 1.5 Z = (45 50)/10 Z = -5/10 Z = -.5 PSY 721 Scores and Norms 30 10
11 Where they are µ -2z -1z 0z +1z +2z -.5z +1.5z PSY 721 Scores and Norms 31 Standard Scores: Benefits Statistically meaningful. Communicates in terms of the normal curve. Direct reference to the mean. Translate directly to percentiles. Comparison within same test. Comparison across different tests. PSY 721 Scores and Norms 32 Standard Scores: Issues May appear to be artificial. Assumes a normal distribution. Hard to communicate to lay people. PSY 721 Scores and Norms 33 11
12 Transformed Scores (T scores) A score that has been converted to a scale with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. PSY 721 Scores and Norms 34 Z Score to t-score X = ( Z xsd ) + X New New Old New Mean = 50 SD = 10 What is the T-score for a z-score of 1.5? IQ = (1.5 x 10) + 50 T = T = 65 What is the T-score for a z-score of -1? IQ = (-1 x 10) + 50 T = T = 40 PSY 721 Scores and Norms 35 Other Standard Scores. Scale IQ Mean 100 Standard Deviation 15 SAT and GRE PSY 721 Scores and Norms 36 12
13 Stanines Divides the distribution into nine groups. The width of the interval between adjacent groups is ½ a standard deviation. PSY 721 Scores and Norms 37 Mean PSY 721 Scores and Norms 38 Criterion Referenced Testing Has the person mastered a pre-established level of competence on some key content domain. PSY 721 Scores and Norms 39 13
14 Criterion Referenced Testing: Uses & Issues Uses. Focus on what a person knows. Assess minimal standards. Issues. Establishing the content domain. How to establish a score to indicate mastery? Useful for basic skills and knowledge. PSY 721 Scores and Norms 40 Actuarial vs. Clinical Interpretation Actuarial Interpreting test scores in terms of their statistical properties (testing). Clinical Interpreting test scores in terms of their meaning (assessment). PSY 721 Scores and Norms 41 THE END PSY 721 Scores and Norms 42 14
