This score compares the score of the test-taker to those in the entire NIHToolbox nationally representative normative sample, regardless of age or any other variable. Performance measure scale scores are devised such that the mean is 100 and the standard deviation (SD) is 15 (commonly referred to as Standard Scores).This score may be most useful when trying to gauge ones overall level of functioning, not in the context of age, gender or other demographic factors. It may also be of interest when monitoring performance over time. Higher unadjusted scale scores indicate better performance.No min/max value is provided. Web (Unadjusted scale score) and iPad (Uncorrected T-Score) version of the score , is comparable, but is only output when all demographics are in the registration file.
