DIFERENCIAS EN LOS VALORES PERCENTILARES DE LAS PRUEBAS DE VERIFICACIÓN DIAGNÓSTICA

Abstract

This research is a comparison between the percentiles of some test vali- dated in Argentina, Mexico and Spain and others obtained in a Bolivian population, specifically in the province of Quillacollo, the study was con- ducted by the first semester of management 2016 and the population con- sisted 221 girls and 201 boys. The objective was not to validate an instru- ment but to analyze the differences that might exist between the type re- sults regarding the percentiles obtained in Bolivia and originally validated in foreign countries; the tests that were taken into account were the basic functions test (PFB), Digit Span Test (VADS), writing processes test (PRO- ESC) and the Raven test (colored Scale). The main found results were the variation in the direct score (DS) media to local level in comparison to points system groups originally, such vari- ation ranges from 10 to 15 points significantly affecting the position of the identified group in the table of percentiles for each test. For example, with an average score of 21 on the Raven test, you get a 50 percentile on the local scale, and the Argentinian scale would be located in the 5 percentile.
