Normalized invariant form on a Kac-Moody Algebra

For a symmetrizable Kac-Moody Algebra, we can define a normalized invariant form that performs the same role as the Killing form in the finite dimensional case. My question is, do these forms coincide, or are they related in the finite dimensional case (on a f.d. semisimple Lie algebra)?
