WHAT DOES STANINE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Stanine

Stanine is a method of scaling test scores on a nine-point standard scale with a mean of five and a standard deviation of two. Some web sources attribute stanines to the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II. Psychometric legend has it that a 1-9 scale was used because of the compactness of recording the score as a single digit but Thorndike claims that by reducing scores to just nine values, stanines "reduce the tendency to try to interpret small score differences ". The earliest known use of stanines was by the U.S. Army Air Forces in 1943.
