Abstract

Male and female examiners elicit different test results from young children, with female examiners' results show higher IQ's. This study seeks to examine the effect and test if pretest time spent with children by male examiners would have an effect. The study found that establishment of rapport between children and male examiners is not enough to elicit IQs equivalent to what the female examiners obtained.
