I don't know what the previous person wanted to answer by clustering. Here i would have answered that there are many Gaussianity tests out there. You can start by looking at the pdf. Then, measuring kurtosis and skewness and compare with the gaussian (to see how symmetric and sharp it is compared to a gaussian). Also (less rigorous), you could measure the difference (square error) with a Gaussian with same mean and variance
