Whom is the Wiat II test normed for and which populations?

The WIAT is an achievement test often used, in conjunction with an IQ test, to determine eligibility for services under "Specific Learning Disability."\n\nHere is a nice summary, including some basic norming information. You would need to review the actual test administrator's handbook for detailed norming information.\n\nhttp://alpha.fdu.edu/psychology/WIATII_descrp.htm

It's just a guess.  Keep in mind too, that intelligence tests don't score that high anyway.  The Wechsler tests (WISC-IV, WAIS-III) go up to an IQ of 145 and the Stanford-Binet goes to 150.   (So when you see actors on talk shows that they were tested when young and had an IQ over 200- they are lying.)  IQ tests have these ceiling limits because it would not make financial sense to invest the money to develop items that could discriminate between individuals with higher IQ's, and it would be too difficult to individuals with higher IQ's to use in the norm group.

I have searched and searched for a website of that criteria, but have found none. Your best bet is to go to www.mensa.com and schedule a test, or to find an educational psychologist to examine you.

If you are doing a paired-sample t-test, the rule of thumb would be a minimum of 30 participants, assuming the responses are normally distributed on both the pre- and post-tests.\n\nMy understanding is that in computer simulations drawing lots of different samples from a virtual population, n=30 is the smallest sample that has an acceptable probability of approximating a normal distribution.\n\nIf you want to do any regression or factor analyses, you should have a least n=100.

One set would be\n\nhttp://www.oecd.org/document/57/0,2340,en_2649_34377_2348921_1_1_1_1,00.html\n\nEach media will have a different set of tests.

As shogunly said, compared.\n\nWhy? The reason for that answer is in bold below-\n\nRe-written, the sentence would read...\n\nThe results are compared to those of a national Demographic and Health survey to give a <b>comparative</b> impression of the socio-economic and health situation on Nias.\n\n(though, looking at the original sentence, shouldn't it be "weighted against"? ::frowns:: Then again, I dropped out of school, so I can't really be sure.)

What are they testing for?

I find it hard to believe that the pairs are treated independently. There's no point to that, it doesn't give you any useful statistical information.\n\nHowever, if you're trying to compare all the values on the left side as a group with their pairs on the right side as a group, then you could use a modified version of the Chi^2 test. Basically multiply everything by 100, and then do a normal Chi^2 test.\n\nYour degrees of freedom will be (6-1)(2-1) = 5

Here is one of the tests you are talking about.  I hope this helps.

The Department of Agriculture can give you the information free of charge. Be advised, the supplement amounts are doses and the intake of food is a normal amount derived at as per age, weight, and body type. Since your question is asked in a different way than I have heard it before, I can only give you basic information\nThere are other factors that are thrown into the mix; there may be certain foods some of the test subjects can not eat; either due to the food causing illness, as well as religious groups. Many things are left up to common sense.

In relation to what type of medical disorder or behavior?\n\n Knowledge about the balance between heritable and nonheritable risk in multiple sclerosis (MS) is based on twin studies in high-prevalence areas. In a study that avoided ascertainment limitations and directly compared continental Italy (medium-prevalence) and Sardinia (high-prevalence), we ascertained 216 pairs from 34,549 patients. This gives a twinning rate of 0.62% among MS patients, significantly less than that of the general population.      In continental Italy, probandwise concordance was 14.5% (95% confidence interval, 5.1-23.8) for monozygotic and 4.0% (95% confidence interval, 0.8-7.1) for dizygotic twins. Results in Sardinia resemble those in northern populations but in limited numbers. Monozygotic concordance was 22.2% (95% confidence interval, 0-49.3) probandwise, but no concordant dizygotic pairs were identified.

that wasn't really a question . . . \n\nBut I'll take a stab at it. IQ is normalized periodically around a mean between 100 and 110 and a standard deviation of about 15 (in the USA) and 24 (in Europe).

I don;t know what state you come from but in NEW YORK STATE,\ninfants are tested at birth. I think but am not sure that perhaps all states are testing at birth if the parents fit the criteria. Best of Luck to you.
