Interpreting Research Results It has long been known (I didn't look up the original reference) that the Wechsler Scales are the most commonly used tests of intelligence. This suggests that a definite trend is evident (These data are practically meaningless) in the field of school psychology. while it has not been possible to provide definite answers to the questions (An unsuccessful experiment, but I still hope to get it published) regarding the over-use of the Wechsler Scales, this study attempts to add to the research literature base (We hope to get it published). Samples of children identified as having a learning disability where gathered. Three of the samples were chosen for detailed study (The other results didn't make any sense). Based on this research, typical results are shown (This is the prettiest graph) in Table 1. According to statistical analysis (Rumor has it) as well as a careful analysis of obtainable data (Three pages of notes were obliterated when I knocked over a glass of beer), a statistically oriented projection of the significance of these findings (A wild guess) found results that were considered to be correct within an order of magnitude (Wrong). These results confirm what in my experience (Once) as well as in case after case (Twice) has been proven to be true. It is believed that (I think) much additional work will be required before a complete understanding of the phenomenon occurs (I don't understand it). After additional study by my colleagues (They don't understand it either) it is determined that this study provides a highly significant area for exploratory study (A totally useless topic selected by a committee), and it is hoped that this study ill stimulate further investigation in the field (I'm not doing it). All results will be in a subsequent report (I might get around to this sometime, if pushed/funded). Thanks are due to John Willis for assistance with the experiment and to Jennifer Pascarella for valuable discussion (Dr. Willis did the work and Ms. Pascarella explained to me what it meant). |
