Which assessment is identified by the acronym NNAT?

• A. Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale
• B. Wechsler Individual Achievement Test
• C. Naglieri Non-Verbal Ability Test
• D. Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory

Answer: (C)

NNAT stands for Naglieri Non-Verbal Ability Test, a nonverbal reasoning assessment designed to measure general problem-solving ability without relying on language. The items typically present geometric shapes and patterns and ask you to identify the missing element or the next shape, focusing on logical reasoning rather than vocabulary or reading. This nonverbal approach is what the acronym signals: Naglieri (the creator’s surname) plus Non-Verbal Ability Test. Other options are different kinds of tests: the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale is a traditional IQ test with verbal and nonverbal parts; the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test measures academic achievement; and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory evaluates personality and psychological traits.
