Something interesting.Ever wonder why the TES seems to outperform other screening techniques?
One thing you'll notice about it is that it requires three interpretable presentations of each RQs. If you don't have three, then you run a fourth presentation of the RQs, and score only the first three interpretable presentation for each RQ.
The major difference between this strict requirement and our common procedures with other techniques is that other techniques do not prohibit scoring to a conclusion based on 2 or 1 presentation. Anther difference is that the 4th presentation is not scored, unless it is needed to get 3. Yet another difference is that there does not seem to be any procedure for useless attempts to get 3 interpretable presentations if you cannot get them in 4 charts (presentations).
It's not concrete, but it's consistent with what Sackett has said.
This is not at all surprising. If you want good results, then collect good data.
