Differential Ability Scales
(DAS)
Step-by-step
Analysis
Between-Cluster differences are next examined (Figure-6). Kate was found to
have statistically significant and unusual differences between her Verbal and
Nonverbal Reasoning scores as well as between her Nonverbal Reasoning and
Spatial scores. Both differences are expected to occur in only about 1 to 5% of
the population. These large and unusual differences suggest that Kate displays
her cognitive abilities in very different ways. Interpretation of Kate's
abilities will most likely concentrate on these large cognitive cluster
differences. These finding support those of Step 1. The GCA appears to be an
inadequate way to try to describe Kate's abilities.
