The reason for this interests simply tat ne ion of the observed form of distribution; it would be quite wrons of the observed distributions as being necessarily indicative of the “true” dis f course, one would select items in such a way that normality of distribut this is less important than the other criteria we have had in mind for the =: sequently we have not used score distribution in considering items for inclus the distributions, notably those for P, deviate markedly from normality, being positiv y skewed. There would be little point in providing a more accurate statistical descrin ape of the curves in terms of higher moments, and we have not done so. cores obtained y research applications the examiner will Have no need to convert raw S ne scoring key stencil to stern score. However, commonly the test user would like to k ndividval stands in relation to a defined population. For this purpose the raw 3 ‘red into stern scores. Use Table 9a and 9b to convert raw scores.
