I'm trying to display how the subject's test result compares with determined normative values. I figured putting the normative values into lists with similar indices would be a good start, as noted below:
<list RTminranges>
/ items = (384, 498, 524, 540, 552, 563, 575, 583, 593, 604, 613, 627, 640, 653, 666, 680, 693, 713, 739, 794, 1297)
</list>

<list RTmaxranges>
/ items = (383,497,523,539,551,562,574,582,592,603,612,626,639,652,665,679,692,712,738,793,1296)
</list>

<list RTpercentiles>
/ items = (99, 95, 90, 85, 80, 75, 70, 65, 60, 55, 50, 45, 40, 35, 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, 5, 0)
</list>


How would I compare the result
meanRTcomplexRT
with the listed percentiles? In traditional programming, I feel like there would be some way to iterate the value through comparisons, but I'm not sure what to do here. Any advice or alternative solutions would be appreciated

Inquisit 6 has while() loops, so you can iteratetively compare as you would in any other programming language.

Adding: See Programmer's Manual ( https://www.millisecond.com/support/Inquisit%20Programmer's%20Manual.pdf ), specfically page 57 onwards.

Perhaps https://forums.millisecond.com/Topic35749.aspx may serve as a perhaps instructive example, in that you can do things much like in a "normal" programming language.
