| Abstract: | Administered the Halstead Neuropsychological Test Battery for Adults (HNTB) to 288 15–52 yr old (mean WAIS IQ 84) Ss with seizure disorder and examined age, sex, SES, handedness, and educational level as predictor variables. MANOVA showed considerable variability in the magnitude and nature of the relationship between predictor variables and measures of the HNTB. It is suggested that the influence of subject variables (especially sex) should be considered in the clinical-decision process involving neuropsychological evaluations so that adjusted cutoff scores and norms used are appropriate.
