1. Low scores relatively common across all test batteries

2. Low scores depend on where you set your cutoff score

3. Low scores vary by number of tests administered

4. Low scores vary by the demographics of the examinee

5. Low scores vary by level of intelligence.

Low scores are relatively

common across all test batteries

1. Average subjects can be expected to obtain a distribution of test scores in which approximately 16% will fall 1 SD below the mean.

2. The range of abnormal scores obtained by an average person might be as low as 8% or as high as 28%.

3. In fact, for the eight NAB normative subjects who Iverson (2010) identified as possibly suffering from impairment, on a battery of 25 test scores, the average number of abnormal scores per subject was 18%, with a minimum of 8% and a maximum of 28%.

Low scores depend on where

you set your cutoff score

4. For any particular battery administered to an average person, with abnormality defined as 1 SD below the normative mean, will result in 16% of the scores being labeled as abnormal, with a range from 8% to 28%.

5. Similarly, with abnormality defined as 1.5 SD below the normative mean will result in 7% of the scores being labeled as abnormal, w/ range from 3% to 14%.

6. Finally, with abnormality defined as 2.0 SD below the normative mean will result in 2% of the scores being labeled as abnormal, with a range from 1% to 5%.

Page 24: Intra-Individual Variability: OTBM by OTBM-SD

06/20/2012 Rohling - Meta-analysis & Base Rates 24

Low scores vary by number of

tests administered

7. Multiple the number of test scores obtained by the percentage of scores expected to fall below the selected cutoff and you will obtain the number of expected abnormal scores.

8. Giving more tests results in more abnormal test

scores, but the percentage of abnormal test scores does not change by increasing the number of tests administered in the battery. More scores will increase the reliability and validity of the assessment.

Low scores vary by

demographics of the examinee

9. Higher levels of premorbid functioning will result in a lower frequency of obtained abnormal scores.

10. Lower levels of premorbid functioning will result in a higher frequency of obtained abnormal scores.

11. Demographic variables, such as age and education, influence levels of premorbid functioning.

Low scores vary by level of

premorbid intelligence

12. Higher levels of premorbid functioning will result in a lower frequency of obtained abnormal scores.

13. Lower levels of premorbid functioning will result in a higher frequency of obtained abnormal scores.

14. Demographic variables, such as age and education, influence levels of premorbid functioning.
