METHODS: This study is a prospective study. This study used numeric comparative analytic two unpaired groups to observe the differences of PANSS score of the man with schizophrenia between Bataknese and Javanese who had received risperidone treatment. RESULTS: Our study found that the average score of PANSS for Bataknese was 49.76 ± 12.65 and Javanese was 42.43 ± 9.05.

Iq Tests

This article employed multivariate graphic techniques to address three issues concerning the use of IQ tests for identifying children with learning and/or language disabilities. The first issue concerns the weakness of the conceptual rationale for models that suggest that IQ directly, influences the attainment of academic and/or language skills. The second issue addresses psychometric issues that relate to the significance of an IQ/attainment difference score. The third issue involves the psychometric limitations of simple comparisons of IQ and attainment scores. This article shows that the historically prominent role of IQ tests for identifying children with learning and/or language disabilities is conceptually and psychometrically unwarranted.
