Table A.20. Demographic Characteristics of EQ-i 2.0 Validity Samples

The following table summarizes the demographic characteristics of the samples used in the EQ-i 2.0 validity analyses. Ideally, these samples should include representation from a wide range of demographic groups, as found in the EQ-i 2.0 validity samples.
