The ASET Salary Survey was done in an online format using the Moodle learning management system’s Questionnaire feature to acquire the participant data. Eight hundred and thirteen

neurodiagnostic professionals from all areas of the field participated in the survey. The neurodiagnostic professional field is small and some of the credentials about which queries were

made are relatively new, and in some cases professionals with multiple credentials are relatively rare so the data acquired were in some cases statistically small samples. These small samples are marked with an (*) and are included because there is no other source of information about salaries in these

new areas of credential such as CLTM, or for multiple credentialed professionals, at this time. Note this indication when interpreting the survey data results. Mean, Median and Mode calculations were

done on categories having 5 or more responses. Ranges were reported if there were 3 or more responses.

Terms used in the survey

Mean - Average salary

Median - Midline salary with half of the salaries higher and half lower

Mode - Within the middle trend, the salary occurring most frequently, or the average of those tied for

most frequent.

Range - The lowest and highest salaries listed

Trend - The band in which most of the salaries occurred

*All salaries are reported as annual salaries and calculations made using annual salaries. The

inclusion of a range of hourly wages was listed beside the annual salary categories to help those

paid a hourly wage and not sure the translation of that wage into an annual salary. To extract from

the data an hourly wage, divide the salary by 2080 work hours per year.
