Thank you, Jenn. Hi Daniel,
Yes, the intensity scores are averaged. Also, please follow this link<https://nihtoolbox.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/2437205-nih-toolbox-scoring-and-interpretation-guide> for the interpretation guide, then select the attachment in the article. The other link is no longer active.

And then there's general info about the norming and types of final scores provided on this page: http://www.healthmeasures.net/score-and-interpret/interpret-scores/nih-toolbox. Basically the raw score is from 0-100 intensity, but the Unadjusted Standard score we report is rescaled so that the mean =100, and the SD=15. The Age-adjusted Standard Score are compared to the other respondents in the 18-29 or 30-39 age ranges (depending on the age of the subject) and similarly rescaled to a mean=100, SD=15. So the rescaling is why the values all fall between 56-135, which would be a range of about 3 standard deviations below the mean to about 2 above. As far as I know, we combine the results from the intensity scores from the two tasting solutions, but Cindy Hernke (CC'd) will have to confirm that.

In the HCP reference manual (Q3), it shows that the values for the taste intensity range from 60 to 130. I was wondering whether the range of 60-130 covers the full scale of the general Labelled Magnitude Scale as shown in the NIH Toolbox Demo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7b8E8GTnIE)? If it is the case, a score of 60 would indicate there is no taste at all (the bottom of the scale) and a score of 130 would indicate the strongest imaginable (the top of the scale). Or does the range reflect the actual responses from HCP participants? However, in the unrestricted data, the taste intensity scores range from 56.35 to 134.60. This makes me wonder maybe the range of 60-130 do not cover the full scale and the full scale could be range from 0 to more than 130. Could anyone help me to solve the puzzle? Thanks.
