🧩
Entirely Nonverbal & Motor-Free: The C-TONI 2 (Hammill, Pearson & Wiederholt, 2009) measures nonverbal intelligence across 6 subtests using only a pointing response — no reading, writing, speaking, or complex motor execution. Separates Pictorial (meaningful/real-world) from Geometric (abstract/novel) nonverbal reasoning. Critical for fair assessment of D/HH students, ELL students, those with motor impairments, or anyone for whom language-based cognitive tests are invalid or biased. Ages 6–89.
Student / Examinee Information
Overall Nonverbal Intelligence At least one composite score required
Standard Score scale: Mean = 100, SD = 15 (typical range 40–160). Classification: Very Superior (131+), Superior (121–130), Above Average (111–120), Average (90–110), Below Average (80–89), Poor (70–79), Very Poor (≤69).
Global Composite
Nonverbal Intelligence Quotient
NIQ — All 6 subtests · Ages 6–89
Composite Scores: Pictorial & Geometric (standard scores, recommended)
Standard Score scale: Mean = 100, SD = 15. The PNIQ uses meaningful/pictorial stimuli (real objects); the GNIQ uses abstract/geometric stimuli (novel shapes). The PNIQ–GNIQ discrepancy is the C-TONI 2's signature diagnostic feature.
