Descriptors with statistically significant differences in usage by gender All words were assessed for differential usage between groups of interest, with statistical significance defined as p < 0.05. Location of a word point on the men-women axis indicates its preferential use in either gender. Distance from the y-axis also indicates increased difference from expected word distribution, noting however that all words shown are statistically significant in their usage by gender. Placement along the pass-honors axis indicates association of a given word with usage in either more honors- or pass-graded evaluations. Orange-highlighted words identify words that are used more in evaluations of women, while blue-highlighted words identify words that are used more in evaluations of men. The categorization of these terms by “personal attribute” versus “competency-related” descriptors can be found in Table 4.
