About the ASET Salary and Benefits Survey and Report
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.
