Clinicians examine the five primary indexes to identify broad areas of strength and weakness. The manual provides critical value tables to determine whether the differences between index scores are statistically significant or merely statistical noise. Step 3: Conduct Base Rate Analyses
The manual details the massive standardization sample, which matched the U.S. Census data across variables such as age, sex, race/ethnicity, parental education level, and geographic region. This ensures that a child's performance is compared against an accurate, representative peer group. 4. The Interpretive Framework: Step-by-Step Analysis
