This WPS TEST REPORT for the SIPT provides detailed information on Tess’s sensory processing and
practic abilities. A summary of the SIPT tests and major summary scores for Tess is provided above. Page
2 of this report presents a graph of these results, and Page 3 shows the estimated true scores. The
complete listing of SIPT scores begins on Page 4. Following the listing is an analysis of how closely Tess’s
major score profile matches the profiles of the six groups described in the SIPT Manual. The report closes
with a listing of all recorded data.
Users of this WPS TEST REPORT should be familiar with the information (including
interpretation guidelines, psychometric properties, and limitations) presented in the SIPT Manual
published by Western Psychological Services (WPS Product No. W-260M). This WPS TEST
REPORT should be used only in conjunction with that Manual.

not administered, or if the test was partially reported as 3.00 and scores below -3.00 are
administered in such a way that the major score reported as -3.00.

Scoring Remarks
None. (Remarks are noted for some exceptional scores and patterns of individual test scores, such as
scores that cannot be generated, highly lateralized scores, and time and accuracy discrepancies.)
