The NYC Gifted and Talented Assessment contains both nonverbal and verbal question types. The nonverbal component of the test is comprised of Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test (NNAT) questions and the verbal component of the test is comprised of Otis-Lennon School Ability Test (OLSAT) questions.    

About Reasoning by Analogy    
In Reasoning by Analogy questions, students are expected to recognize relationships among various geometric shapes. To determine which answer choice is correct, the student must determine how the geometric objects change as one moves across the rows and down the columns of the design. Reasoning by Analogy questions require that the student pay careful attention to the details of the design and work with more than one dimension (shape and shading) simultaneously.    

About Serial Reasoning    
Serial Reasoning questions assess the test taker’s ability to supply a missing element in a given matrix comprised of geometric shapes. Each matrix is composed of nine boxes in a three-by-three grid. The test taker is to determine which answer choice belongs in the empty box in the bottom right-hand corner of the grid.    

About Spatial Visualization    
Spatial Visualization questions require students to mentally manipulate shapes. These items are among the most difficult in the NNAT, especially in questions which involve shapes that intersect in ways which are difficult to recognize or involve rotation.    
Spatial Visualization questions are commonly seen on aptitude tests, preemployment tests, and admission tests to certain academic institutions. NNAT Levels C-G include Spatial Visualization items.

10 Questions

1. (Verbal) Mark the picture that shows stars placed on each corner of the triangle.

CBAED

2. (Nonverbal) Serial Reasoning: Identify the image which completes the pattern by examining how the series of shapes change across the rows and down the columns within the matrix. Where you can most easily visualize the relationship will determine the direction in which you examine the question.

ECABD

3. (Nonverbal) Serial Reasoning: Identify the image which completes the pattern by examining how the series of shapes change across the rows and down the columns within the matrix. Where you can most easily visualize the relationship will determine the direction in which you examine the question.

DECBA

4. (Nonverbal) Reasoning by Analogy: Look for a relationship between the figures across the rows and down the columns. The direction in which you examine the question should depend on where you can most easily visualize the analogous relationship.

DECAB

5. (Nonverbal) Serial Reasoning: Identify the image which completes the pattern by examining how the series of shapes change across the rows and down the columns within the matrix. Where you can most easily visualize the relationship will determine the direction in which you examine the question.

BDECA

6. (Verbal) Mark the picture that shows a joey (baby kangaroo) peeking out of its mother's pouch, with a koala hanging from a tree and a bird chirping in the background.

BECDA

7. (Nonverbal) Spatial Visualization: Determine how the figures relate to each other, and apply this relationship to the row with the empty frame. Visualize how the objects might look when rotated, transformed, or combined.

CDBEA

8. (Verbal) Which clothes are worn in pairs?

EDABC

9. (Nonverbal) Spatial Visualization: Determine how the figures relate to each other, and apply this relationship to the row with the empty frame. Visualize how the objects might look when rotated, transformed, or combined.

ACDBE

10. (Nonverbal) Reasoning by Analogy: Look for a relationship between the figures across the rows and down the columns. The direction in which you examine the question should depend on where you can most easily visualize the analogous relationship.
