Grad Spouse IQ
OVERVIEW: Spouse IQ data were collected for all spouses where we had a valid high school name, maiden name, and either DOB or year graduated. Information about Spouse IQ was collected in the following way: -In 2003-2004 we began speaking to graduate and sibling spouses. While interviewing spouses we ascertained their maiden name, whether or not they attended high school in Wisconsin, if so what high school they attended, and finally their date of birth. -With the above information collected we were able to use spouses date of birth and high school information to calculate estimations of the year in which spouses were in particular grade levels and in what school. We then used these estimations combined with their maiden name to search through the Wisconsin Cooperative Testing Program books for Spouses Henmon-Nelson scores (books with scores exist for WI schools from 1930-1980). -Each case was checked three times; 1.)The first check was done quickly on the estimated year. 2.) For cases that did not yield a score on the first check we looked at plus and minus three years from the estimated year. In addition, if the reported high school was in a big city we checked all other high schools in that city. 3.) After the first two checks, if a case did not have 2 scores we checked all high school years without a score in the same manner as check 2. -Finally, once Hemnon-Nelson scores were located for spouses we followed an already established formula (see Cor652, Memo124) to convert raw Henmon-Nelson scores for grades 9-12 taken in any year into the metric of Wisconsin IQ scores jor Juniors in 1957. In this way (for example), a score from a spouse who took the test as a 9th grader in 1938 could be compared to a graduate who took the test as a Junior in 1956. BRIEF VARIABLE DESCRIPTIONS: NOTE: "Best measure" (bm) represents spouse's junior year score, if no junior score exists then we used the converted senior year score, if no senior then sophomore, if no sophomore then freshman. spwiiq_bm Best measure of spouse IQ mapped from converted Henmon-Nelson score. sphnrs_bm Best measure of spouse Henmon-Nelson raw score. spwicr_bm Best measure of spouse WI centile rank based on converted Henmon-Nelson score. spncr_bm Best measure of spouse National centile rank based on converted Henmon-Nelson score. spbook_flag_bm Best measure of years difference between estimated graduation and WI book found in. iqsource The grade level in which raw Henmom-Nelson scores were converted into best measure IQ score. spwiiq_f Spouse WI IQ based on the conversion of freshman raw Henmon-Nelson score sphnrs_f Spouse converted freshman Henmon-Nelson score spwicr_f Spouse WI centile rank based on converted freshman Henmon-Nelson score spncr_f Measure of spouse National centile rank based on converted Henmon-Nelson score. spwiiq_p Spouse WI IQ based on the conversion of sophomore raw Henmon-Nelson score sphnrs_p Spouse converted sophomore Henmon-Nelson score spwicr_p Spouse WI centile rank based on converted sophomore Henmon-Nelson score spncr_p Spouse National centile rank based on converted sophomore Henmon-Nelson score spwiiq_j Spouse WI IQ based on the conversion of junior Henmon-Nelson score sphnrs_j Spouse converted junior Henmon-Nelson score spwicr_j Spouse WI centile rank based on converted junior Henmon-Nelson score spncr_j Spouse National centile rank based on converted junior Henmon-Nelson score spwiiq_s Spouse WI IQ based on the conversion of senior Henmon-Nelson score sphnrs_s Spouse converted senior Henmon-Nelson score spwicr_s Spouse WI centile rank based on converted senior Henmon-Nelson score spncr_s Spouse National centile rank based on converted senior Henmon-Nelson score fbook_flag Difference in years between estimated graduation and WI book score was found in for freshman pbook_flag Difference in years between estimated graduation and WI book score was found in for sophomores jbook_flag Difference in years between estimated graduation and WI book score was found in for juniors sbook_flag Difference in years between estimated graduation and WI book score was found in for seniors **Note: For variable creation details please refer to COR652
