    hi,
    Is the paired t test always a two-tail test?

    Paired T test is sensitive to change in any direction Pre and Post the given condition.  So by this it is a two tailed test.
    However Paired t test is used when you have 1 measurement variable that has two attribute out comes.  So you are comparing two sets of data points.   E.G- time to reach a destination when driving without drinnking and when driving after drinking.

    Paired t tests can be either two-tailed (nondirectional) or one-tailed (directional). Directional tests should be based on theory and/or previous research supporting this viewpoint.
