The Importance of Small but Consistent Group Differences on Standardized Tests: The Case of Sex Differences on the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities.

Investigated sex differences on the McCarthy Scales of Childrens Abilities. While few of the sex differences on the separate scales were statistically significant, binomial tests indicated that the overall pattern of differences consistently favored females. Several reasons why these smali but consistent between-group differences may have important consequences in evaluation settings are discussed. The procedures presented here should prove generally useful in situations in which a series of tests or subtests is used.
