Exploring the Naglieri General Ability Tests for Fair and Inclusive Identification

Location: Sandstone 9

Description: In this presentation, we will introduce the Naglieri General Ability Tests, which measure reasoning and problem-solving skills through nonverbal tasks based on shapes and patterns rather than language. The NGAT is designed to reduce the impact of cultural and linguistic differences, offering a more equitable measure of general ability. Its emphasis on how students think, rather than what they know, makes it a powerful tool for identifying gifted potential and promoting inclusivity in talent development.
