An initial criterion to determine severe discrepancies and relative strengths and weaknesses is a significant difference between regressed standard scores. Tables are presented as a convenient method to determine the magnitude of a discrepancy required for significance at common reliability and inter‐correlation values. Prevalences of significant discrepancies are also shown, indicating that significant discrepancies are not uncommon in a normal population.
