Moving Shapes paradigm is a test that evaluates intentionality as a theory of mind (ToM) component. This study aimed to assess the normative data and reliability of this test in a community sample of 9-11-year-old children. A total of 398 children aged between 9 and 11 years were recruited from mainstream elementary schools through a random cluster sampling. All participants were evaluated using the Moving Shapes paradigm. To evaluate test-retest reliability, the test was administered again after 2-4 weeks. The intentionality mean score was 29.70 (+5.88) out of 60. There was no significant difference between girls and boys in test scores. Age was not significantly related to the paradigm variables scores. Ten percent of the participants achieved the scores below 22, and 10% above 37. Cronbach's Alfa was 0.40 for the intentionality score. The test-retest reliability was fair to good (0.43 - 0.79) for different groups of animations. The inter-rater agreement was 80%. The study found that the Moving shapes paradigm is a reliable instrument to evaluate intentionality in normal school-aged children
移动形状范式是一种评估作为心理理论（ToM）组成部分的意向性的测试。本研究旨在评估该测试在9至11岁儿童社区样本中的常模数据和可靠性。 通过随机整群抽样从主流小学招募了398名年龄在9至11岁之间的儿童。所有参与者都使用移动形状范式进行评估。为了评估重测可靠性，在2至4周后再次进行测试。 意向性平均得分在60分中为29.70（+5.88）。测试分数在女孩和男孩之间没有显著差异。年龄与范式变量分数没有显著相关。10%的参与者得分低于22分，10%的参与者得分高于37分。意向性得分的克朗巴赫阿尔法系数为0.40。不同动画组的重测可靠性为中等至良好（0.43 - 0.79）。评分者间一致性为80%。研究发现，移动形状范式是评估正常学龄儿童意向性的可靠工具。
