This was a question that the tutor answered to clarify the mean and SD:
Question: I went to the statistics of the test (as you suggested in" rel="nofollow">in the tutorial), however, am a bit confused by them. The statistics for their "total scores" gives n=15885, and then a mean=109.59
and SD = 18.669. I thin" rel="nofollow">ink in" rel="nofollow">in the tutorial we were just takin" rel="nofollow">ing that the mean was 100 and the SD was 15. So... what does the site's statistics mean in" rel="nofollow">in relation to our in" rel="nofollow">interpretation? In the tutorial
the example the person's score was 84 and in" rel="nofollow">in the 14th percentile. So.. that person's result would be more than 1SD below the mean, not within" rel="nofollow">in it. I don't want to get too hung up on stats, but you
advised us to briefly in" rel="nofollow">interprete our results again" rel="nofollow">inst the site's normative data, so do I use 100 as the mean and SD of 15 or the site's elevated scores? Or have I lost the plot?
Answer: You have defin" rel="nofollow">initely not lost the plot! Stick with the basics; you are given a normal graph so consider 100 as the mean and 15 as the SD and compare your scores to that. You in" rel="nofollow">interpretation
of the example from the tutorial is correct.
I hope this helps a little.
