Summary/Abstract: The Critics of Position and Dispersion Indicators. The first part of the present article is a comparative study of the variation of mean, mode and standard deviation using demonstrative data based on the population census data. Further I try to explain the difference of standard deviation in relation with the other dimensions. This is followed by the presentation of the abnormal effect, which is produced by standard deviation in significance of test F. The last part of the present study deals with the demonstration, in case of a single outlayer variable, that the correlation coefficient with a normal variable depends exclusively by the outlayer variable.
