Using the norm group for inductive reasoning and applying the results from the sample the following percentile curve can be created from this it can be seen that the inductive ability of the supervisors range from the 1st to the 45th percentile of the norm group. A person who scores highly on this scale can be said to be skilled in the interpretation and evaluation of inductive forms of reason. Deductive Reasoning Abilities. The deductive reasoning scores summarised in Figure 6 below provide a mean score of 5.42 with minimum and maximum scores of 1 and 13 respectively and a standard deviation of 3.12. Figure 6 Histogram of Results for BCTST Deductive Reasoning Scores – Using the norm group for deductive reasoning and applying the results from the sample group from this it can be seen that the ability of the supervisors to apply deductive reasoning to test the validity of claims and arguments ranges from the 2nd to the 90th percentile of the norm group. A person who scores high in this norm group can be expected to show confidence in their ability to logically determine conclusions based upon arguments where the premises are known to be or must be taken as true. Analysis Abilities. The analysis scores summarised in Figure 7 below provide a mean score of 5.83 with minimum and maximum scores of 3 and 9 respectively and a standard deviation of 2.25.
