Partial scalar	166.036^* (43)	0.944	0.107 [0.090, 0.124]	0.088	0.026
Partial scalar 2	137.912^* (42)	0.956	0.096 [0.078, 0.114]	0.084	0.014

Note. Invariance through, and including, partial scalar invariance was found for NSSM. Three partial scalar models were tested, and the third model produced acceptable levels of fit indices.
