The current investigation was designed to answer three questions: is the sex difference on Vandenberg's Mental Rotation Test present in all five subsections, what is the relation with performance, and what are the estimates of split-half reliability. Undergraduate students (55 men and 52 women) enrolled in introductory psychology courses were administered Vandenberg's test and were given 6 min. to complete the test. An over-all significant sex difference indicated men's mean performance was significantly higher than women's "total item score" and "total ratio item score," but only for Section 4(D). This suggests that men were not significantly better at identifying all types of visual spatial items on all parts of Vandenberg's test and that the source of the sex difference may be due, at least in part, to performance factors. Reliability measures for Vandenberg's test were established for the 6-min. completion time. Spearman-Brown reliability coefficient was calculated for the "item score," "ratio item score," and "attempted item" scores (.86, .85, and .93, respectively).
范登伯格心理旋转测试中的性别差异是否在所有五个子部分中都存在，其与表现的关系是什么，以及分半信度的估计值是多少。参加心理学入门课程的本科生（55名男性和52名女性）接受了范登伯格测试，并被给予6分钟时间完成测试。总体上显著的性别差异表明，男性的平均表现显著高于女性的“总项目得分”和“总比率项目得分”，但仅在第4部分（D）中如此。这表明男性在识别范登伯格测试所有部分的所有类型视觉空间项目方面并没有显著更好的表现，而且性别差异的来源可能至少部分归因于表现因素。针对6分钟的完成时间确定了范登伯格测试的信度指标。计算了“项目得分 ”“比率项目得分”和“尝试项目”得分的斯皮尔曼 - 布朗信度系数（分别为0.86、0.85和0.93）。
