* = year estimated. When the date at which standardization was carried out is not given, it was assumed to have taken place two years before the date<br />

of publication. When the collection of the standardization sample took two years we rounded off to the earliest year, when the collection took three<br />

years we took the year <strong>in</strong> the middle, and when it took four years we took as the date the second year. In older texts the SSAIS is also referred to as the<br />

NSAIS (New <strong>South</strong> <strong>Africa</strong>n Individual Scale).
