Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test
The Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test (NNAT) is an assessment designed to measure a child's nonverbal reasoning skills. It focuses on the ability to solve problems using visual and spatial reasoning, rather than relying on language skills. This makes it particularly useful for evaluating students from diverse linguistic backgrounds.
The test consists of various tasks that require pattern recognition, logical reasoning, and the ability to manipulate shapes and figures. It is often used in educational settings to identify gifted students and to support their placement in appropriate programs. The NNAT is standardized and can be administered to children from preschool through high school.
