Abstract
A test is proposed for determining whether several scores in a test profile, considered simultaneously, are unusual or not. The test involves the evaluation of a Wishart (multivariate chi-square) distribution. When many tests are made on one profile, the probability level can be adjusted with the Bonferroni correction. This test can be regularly evaluated in computer-based test interpretation programs. An example from a new test of career decision making is given.Keywords
