How do you interpret a KSL or Kolmogorov-Smirnov-Lilliefors test?

If the test result is significant (Lower than or equal to 0.05) = The data is not normally distributed... If the test result is not significant (Higher than 0.05) = The data is normally distributed... This synchronize with the Statistical Hypothesis Assumption (Ho and Ha) Ho means "Nothing Happen" and Ha means "Something Happen" then for KSL and Shapiro Wilk test of normality assumption also.... If the test result reject Ha and accept Ho means "NOTHING HAPPEN" to data or the data is normally distributed but if the result reject Ho and accept Ha means "SOMETHING HAPPEN" to data or in this case the data is NOT normally distributed.

Is a normally distributed variable needed to have a normally distributed sampling distribution.?

Yes, it is.


What do results tell you with regard to whether the data is normally distributed?

Your question may be a little overly complex. Usually you start with some degree of confidence that the variable(s) you are studying are normally distributed; you don't do an experiment and wait for the results to tell you. Your confidence that a variable is normally distributed helps you to determine whether or not your results are significantly different from what you would expect by chance. If I have missed the meaning of your question, my apologies.
