unstandardized

Lacking official norms

Unstandardized means not made uniform or consistent according to a common standard.

In statistics and research, unstandardized coefficients or scores retain their original units of measurement rather than being converted to a common scale: The unstandardized regression coefficient shows the actual dollar change.

More broadly, unstandardized procedures or products vary because no standard has been applied: Testing was unstandardized across the different sites.
