Effects of subject sex, examiner sex, and test apparatus on Halstead Category and Tactual Performance Tests.

80 undergraduates, equally divided by sex, were administered either standard or abbreviated versions of the Halstead Category Test (HCT) and the Tactual Performance Test (TPT) by 4 male and 4 female examiners. Results indicate a significant apparatus effect for TPT Time and significant S Sex?×?Sex of Examiner interactions for both TPT Memory and Location scores. Opposite-sexed pairs were associated with superior Memory and Location scores relative to same-sexed combinations. HCT scores were nonsignificant.
