What is Generating a Report

The Naglieri General Ability Tests are automatically scored through the MHS Group Insights platform, which is also where the Local Norms Report and the National Norms Report for the Naglieri General Ability Tests are generated. An internet connection is required to obtain scores and to generate a report for the Naglieri General Ability Tests.

What you need to get started

Prior to report generation, the following information is required to score the Naglieri General Ability Tests:

Test Type
The specific test(s) completed by the students (i.e., Naglieri–V and/or Naglieri–NV and/or Naglieri–Q).

Date Range
The date range in which the students completed the tests (e.g., September 15 to October 9, 2021).

Grade
The grade form completed by the students (e.g., Grade 2).

Norm Type
The Naglieri General Ability Tests can be scored using either national or local norms. Selecting National Norms will compare students to a nationally representative sample of same-grade peers, and their scores will be calculated in comparison to the national reference sample of students who have completed the Naglieri General Ability Tests. Selecting Local norms will score students as compared to their grade-peers from a specified school, subdistrict (group of schools), or district.
