NGAT (Naglieri General Ability Tests) – Tests and Sample Questions
Testing Mom stands out as the premier test preparation resource for the NGAT, owing to their profound understanding of the test and its intricacies in each section. The expertise lies in their comprehensive knowledge of all test questions, which predominantly consist of diagrams or illustrations. These questions require logical thinking from students, minimizing reliance on specific academic subject matter and ensuring their solvability regardless of the student’s spoken language(s). In instances of computer-based testing, Testing Mom offers animated instructions, while for paper-and-pencil formats, clear directions are presented through a visually engaging comic strip display.
What tests are on the NGAT?
The NGAT consists of three distinct tests.
1. Verbal Test
The NGAT Verbal test asks students to figure out the connections between the universally recognized pictures. They need to identify which verbal idea they have in common and which picture doesn’t belong.
Verbal Sample Question:
Answer: D – This option does not contain a lid.
2. Nonverbal Test
The NGAT Nonverbal test consists of questions shown through diagrams and pictures. Students need to figure out the connections between shapes, colors, sequences, orientation, etc. to determine which option completes the pattern.
Nonverbal Sample Question 1:
Answer: B – The shapes rotate separately – 90-degrees counter-clockwise
Nonverbal Sample Question 2:
Answer: B – The 2 vertical lines are accurately spaced apart and the correct color to complete the pattern.

Nonverbal Sample Question 4:
Answer: C – The pattern is heart, triangle, heart triangle. To complete the pattern, a heart would come next.
3. Quantitative Test
The NGAT Quantitative test has questions displayed with numbers and shapes arranged in a pattern. Students need to look at the relationships, patterns, and sequences among these numbers and symbols using basic math concepts. The questions don’t involve word problems, so they can be solved regardless of language.
Quantitative Sample Question 1:
Answer: B – The first box has 2 gifts. The second box has 3 gifts. The second box has one more gift than the first box. There is one pair of scissors. If we add another pair of scissors just as we did with the gift, we will have 2 pair of scissors. (The rule is to add 1)
Quantitative Sample Question 2:
Answer: B. 22 – The rule is to add 11. 0 + 11 = 11 and 11 + 11 = 22
Quantitative Sample Question 3:
Answer: D – The four vertical cubes weigh the same as the 2×2 cubes. Same size and color but different setting.
Quantitative Sample Question 4:
Answer: 2nd number above the bubble – The pattern is 1, 2, 3, 1, 2.
Quantitative Sample Question 5:
3 8 13 18 23 ___
A. 26 B. 27 C. 28 D. 29 E. 30
Answer: C. 28 – The rule is to add 5; 3 + 5 = 8, 8 + 5 = 13, 13 + 5 = 18, 18 + 5 = 23, 23 + 5 = 28.
