• Thurstone Test of Mental Alertness Meaning of Scores in general

  • high scores: high ability to solve verbal and numerical problems and high speed of response
  • low scores: low ability to handle one or both types of problems and difficulty in adjusting from one problem situation to another
• Interpreting the Scores

  • more than 95th percentile: intellectually superior
  • 75 to 94.99th percentile: above average

  • 5.01 to 24.99th percentile: below average
  • less than 5th percentile: intellectually impaired
• Interpreting the Scores

  • intellectually superior: remarkable, excellent intellectual functioning
  • above average: good, great, more than expected intellectual functioning
  • average: adequate, normal for age, expected intellectual functioning
  • below average: barely adequate, slightly slower intellectual functioning
  • intellectually impaired: below the age expected functioning, extremely low level of cognitive functioning
