Examiner Differences with the Stanford-Binet IQ

Abstract

This report evaluates E differences in administering the Stanford-Binet. Es tested 243 child Ss of both sexes. There were significant differences among Es; a cluster of 2 or 3 “high testers,” 1 “low tester,” and 4 or 5 in the mid-range, was suggested by t tests. An analysis of variance showed that sex of Ss was not a significant factor but female Es elicited significantly higher IQs than male Es. There was an interaction between sex of Es and sex of Ss; Es elicited higher means from Ss not of their own sex.
