| Abstract | In the September 2001 issue of Neuropsychology Review Miller and Rohling published a description of the Rohling Interpretive Method (RIM). These authors indicated that the RIM could be used to analyze an individual patient's test results obtained from a flexible neuropsychological battery. Two critiques of the RIM were submitted (Palmer, Appelbaum, & Heaton, 2004; Willson & Reynolds, 2004), both of which are printed in the current issue. This paper is a response to these two author groups concerns about the clinical and psychometric feasibility of the RIM. We provide both psychometric theory and data analyses to refute each of the two author groups' main objections. We conclude with a recommendation that neuropsychologists adopt the RIM for use in their day-to-day practice to improve their diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning skills. The main reason for use of the RIM is to avoid several common errors in clinical judgment that have been well documented in the literature (e.g., Dawes, Faust, & Meehl, 1989). |
