WPPSI-IV Canadian Score Report

Field Name	Description
Primary Composite Score Confidence Interval	Select the desired confidence interval for the primary composite scores. This value is used to determine the reliability of the estimate. Increasing the desired confidence level will widen the confidence interval.
Primary Mean Comparison Selections	These selections are used to determine index-and subtest-level strengths and weaknesses. Index-level selections · Select the desired critical value significance level, base rate reference group, and comparison score. · If mean of index scores is selected as the comparison score and any primary index is missing, the comparison score will default to FSIQ in the report. Subtest-level selections · Select the desired critical value significance level and comparison score. · If mean of subtest scaled scores is selected and any primary subtest is missing, the comparison score will default to the mean of FSIQ subtests in the report.
Primary Pairwise Comparison Selections	Index-level selections · Select the desired critical value significance level and base rate reference group. · If ability level is selected as the base rate reference group and FSIQ is invalid, the base rate reference group will default to overall sample in report. Subtest-level selections · Select the desired critical value significance level.
Ancillary Summary and Analysis	When checked, the Ancillary Summary and Ancillary Analysis are included in the report and the two ancillary selections below are enabled.
Ancillary Index Score Confidence Interval	Select the desired confidence interval for the ancillary index score. This value is used to determine the reliability of the estimate. Increasing the desired confidence level will widen the confidence interval.
Ancillary Pairwise Comparison Selections	Index-level selections · Select the desired critical value significance level and base rate reference group. · If ability level is selected as the base rate reference group and FSIQ is invalid, the base rate reference group will default to overall sample in report. Subtest-and process- level selections · Select the desired critical value significance level.
Substitution of Subset Scores	Two drop-down lists show the substitution options that are available based on which raw scores have been entered. Refer to Substitution rules for detailed information regarding the available options and the impact these selections have on the scoring of the assessment.
