GUARACHI RAMOS, Rodolfo. DIFERENCIAS EN LOS VALORES PERCENTILARES DE LAS PRUEBAS DE VERIFICACIÓN DIAGNÓSTICA. Rev Inv Sci [online]. 2016, vol.5, n.1, pp. 3-13. ISSN 2313-0229.

This research is a comparison between the percentiles of some test validated in Argentina, Mexico and Spain and others obtained in a Bolivian population, specifically in the province of Quillacollo, the study was conducted by the first semester of management 2016 and the population consisted 221 girls and 201 boys. The objective was not to validate an instrument but to analyze the differences that might exist between the type results regarding the percentiles obtained in Bolivia and originally validated inforeign countries; the tests thatwere taken into accountwere the basic functions test (PFB), DigitSpan Test (VADS), writing processes test (PROESC) 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 variation rangesfrom 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.
