                            Theoretically Sound and Research-Based, the PTONI Assesses Reasoning Abilities in Young Children
Ideal for diverse populations
- Featuring minimal oral directions and a pointing-response format, the PTONI is especially appropriate for testing children who have underdeveloped verbal and/or motor skills.
 - PTONI directions are provided in eight alternative languages, making it an appropriate assessment of intelligence for children from diverse language backgrounds.
 - Can be used to identify both severe intellectual deficits and superior cognitive intelligence; to help estimate future school success based on family history, educational background, and personality traits; and to study a wide range of researchable topics and issues.
 - Test format requires a child to look at a series of pictures and to point to the one picture that does not belong with the others. Items are arranged in order of difficulty.
 - Provides standard scores, percentile ranks, and age equivalents.
 - Normative data (N = 1,010) from 38 states are representative of U.S. Census statistics.
