Determination of standards for the P.M.A. from L.L. Thurstone in senior students of Humanist Science High School in the Metropolitan Region

Abstract

Psychologists familiar with the field of psychological evaluation through tests recognize the importance of being able to have norms obtained in our reality to use a psychological instrument properly. When a study of this type is not available, one would have to accept interpreting the results of the tests either with norms that belong to other countries or other cultures - which from the scientific point of view is based on a series of assumptions that most of the time they are not met - or consider these results in a more clinical way, for which many instruments are not amenable, apart from other difficulties that can arise with this type of approach.
