Factors affecting non-proficient analytical ability were compared and evaluated by rating of laboratories and round. Analyst Indices between proficient and non-proficient participants were different. Coefficients of determination($R^2$) for standard of toluene, xylene and trichloroethylene of the 4th round between some proficient and non-proficient participants were significantly different(p<0.05). But, there was no difference in the 5th round. Average desorption efficiency of non-proficient participants was 88%-98%, which was lower than 96%-100% of some randomly selected proficient participants. Also non-proficient participants have a large variance of desorption efficiency, 11.79-19.69%. In the 5th round, desorption efficiency of metyl iso-butyl ketone(MIBK) reported by all participants was lower than 90% tested by NIOSH and especially low compared to other analytes. Participants evaluated to be non-proficient in the metal part have 85%-100.84% of average recovery, which was larger variance than 98% of some proficient participants. Although it is difficult to find quantitatively factors causing non-proficiency in analytical ability, pretreatement techniques and experience of analyst seems to be more important factors to produce accurate analytical result.
