Mean performance was evaluated across 18 individual neuropsychological variables, and the total number of impaired test scores (&gt;1.5<jats:italic>SD<\/jats:italic>below the mean) was calculated for each athlete. Two measures of IIV were also computed: an intraindividual standard deviation (ISD) score and a maximum discrepancy (MD) score.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1355617719000882_as3\"><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Analyses of covariance revealed that, compared with males, females had significantly more impaired scores and showed greater variability on both IIV indices (ISD and MD scores) after adjusting for time since injury and post-concussive symptoms.
