As well as average scores, it is useful to know score set spread (variability/dispersion), shows how representative our central tendency measure is, and it is not distorted/skewed by extreme scores
Data set with lowest dispersion (more numbers resemble mean) is more representative but a large spread would suggest lots of variation from mean
