“…The clinical usefulness of scatter is in part contingent upon the theoretical viewpoint held by the examiner. On the other hand, the systematic study of scatter may significantly contribute to future changes in psychometric theory (19).…”

Over a long period, the relation between scatter and intelligence quotient has been a topic for investigation. 8 It continues to claim attention. McNemar 8 has reported upon the relationship as found with the 1937 revision of the Stanford-Binet. But the group-intelligence-test counterpart of scatter has not been frequently studied. Woodrow 4 reported an extensive analysis using the results of the Arthur and Woodrow group intelligence scale, and holding mental age constant. He refers to prior studies by Maud A. Merrill, 6 J. C. DeVoss, 6 and A. W. Brown, 7 but the Merrill study was concerned with Binet scatter, De Voss studied achievement test scores, and Brown held chronological age constant, not mental age.An examination of the Woodrow data reveals a need for further study. After reporting results at eighteen half-year mental-age levels from 8:0 to 16:11, Woodrow averaged his findings and reported that unevenness is at a minimum for average pupils, and that it is greater for both brighter and duller pupils but not as 1 Grateful acknowledgement is made to H. M. Foulds, Jr. and Howard Stoertz for assistance with the computation; to the Yale University Committee on Bursary Appointments for making this assistance possible; and to
