Abstract
Previous work on testing multivariate normality is reviewed. Coordinate-dependent and invariant procedures are distinguished. The arguments for concentrating on tests of linearity of regression are indicated and such tests, both coordinate-dependent and invariant, are developed

The present writer is usually much more concerned with and worried about non-additivity, and until recently has suffered from the lack of a systematic way to seek it out, and then to measure it.

As a general approach under each of the three categories of the aforementioned methods, the assessment of normality may be made by inquiring about the need for a transformation, an approach that is not explicitly dependent on data-based transformations is also possible.
