A message from the Authors

Distinguishing between the Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Tests & the Naglieri General Ability Tests

Thank you for visiting  our website and for your interest in the Naglieri General Ability Tests. Like the Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Tests (NNAT), these tests are used for the identification of gifted students. However, several important distinctions exist.  The Naglieri General Ability Tests include innovative approaches to test construction that  have allowed us to identify students with high intellectual ability in a fair and equitable manner. To achieve that goal we created new tests, which  can be solved regardless of the language a student knows and the test questions that demand only a small amount of knowledge. 


Naglieri General Ability Tests measure general ability using verbal, quantitative and nonverbal test questions whereas the NNAT measures general ability but only using a nonverbal format. It is also important to note that the Naglieri General Ability Tests include a verbal and quantitative component in order to have a more diverse approach to measuring general ability. In addition, the Naglieri General Ability Tests include nonverbal versions with all new items.


Best Regards,

Inequity in Gifted Testing

Recently researchers have estimated that more than 850,000 African-American, Hispanic, and Native American students in K-12 public school today could have been identified for gifted programs but were not.  This problem could be addressed by using ability tests that were designed and validated to be equitable for all students.  

Achieving Equity

Inequity in Gifted Testing

The Naglieri General Ability Tests by Jack A. Naglieri, PhD, Dina M. Brulles, PhD and Kimberly Lansdowne, PhD were explicitly developed to address the need for equitable assessment of gifted students from diverse cultural, linguistic, and socioeconomic backgrounds so they can receive educational opportunities appropriate for their ability.

Thinking vs. Knowing

The authors propose that general ability can be assessed in an equitable manner if academic skills are omitted from the measurement of intelligence.
