[Beginning of recorded material]
Scott Douglas Jacobsen: And if you take the Betts listing and the one test that they do take into account to decide your score in ranking from it, Evangelos scored 205 on SD16 on a test by the Cerebrals Society, which was a nonverbal, and therefore a culture fair test.
You scored 199 on SD16, so… but his is nonverbal. Your 199 was verbal. Was it not?
Rick Rosner: I don’t know. I would have to look up the whole deal. And some of these scores are based on, these high-end tests get re-normed a lot.
So, as the people who make the test to get more results and do more statistical work, which itself maybe – I mean most of these people aren’t psycho-metricians or statisticians.
