[QUOTE="seriously, post: 470043, member: 11920"] Thanks for the input folks. I have done some more research on this subtest of the NEPSY II focused more on interpretation of that score. Thanks buddy for suggesting a 2% score is not all that low - that sent me in the right direction. I am looking forward to talking with the psychiatric about the results. She's on vacation for the next 2 weeks so I will have to wait - not my strong suit.:) On this particular test the standard deviation does not apply which is why it is reported as a %. The test results have a skewed distribution and this level of result is considered (according to the info I found) significantly below normal although your observation that this doesn't mean zero is almost certainly correct. But I also found info that says that ToM has floor effects. A floor effect means that you can't score lower than a certain amount. If this score represents the lowest you can score then I think you can't really say anything more than that it's a much lower score than expected. The NEPSY II "subtests" are designed to stand independently and can be used in cross-battery assessment or a tailored assessment using any combination of subtests. So ToM is not a subtest of a subtest. And the NEPSY II is specifically intended to identify clinically significant deficits and has ceiling effects in many subtests for that reason. Once a child reaches expected or above expected levels on an assessment, for the purposes of the neuropsychologist, the results are not important. Thanks everyone. I'll pass on the psychiatric's info when I talk to her. [/QUOTE]
