Tools by Dr. Jack A. Naglieri that help educators and clinicians better understand student learning.
Jack A. Naglieri, Ph.D., is a Senior Research Scientist at the Devereux Center for Resilient Children and Emeritus Professor of Psychology at George Mason University.
For more than four decades, Dr. Naglieri has focused on improving how we measure thinking and learning. His research led to the development of several widely used assessments, including the Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test (NNAT), Cognitive Assessment System (CAS), Autism Spectrum Rating Scale (ASRS), Devereux Student Strengths Assessment (DESSA), Comprehensive Executive Function Inventory (CEFI), and the Naglieri General Ability Tests.
Grounded in the PASS Theory of Intelligence, his work helps educators and psychologists identify students’ strengths and needs fairly and ensure every learner has access to opportunities that match their potential.

Dr. Jack A. Naglieri on The Neurodiversity Podcast
Dr. Naglieri discusses how cognitive assessments can better capture the full range of students’ abilities and support equitable identification practices.

The New York Association of School Psychologists honored Dr. Naglieri for his contributions to intelligence and ability assessment. He shared key moments that inspired his lifelong passion for understanding children's cognition.
Dr. Naglieri regularly presents at national and international conferences, sharing insights on fair assessment, PASS theory, and cognitive evaluation. He offers practical strategies educators can use in their work.

The Florida Association of School Psychologists (FASP) presented Dr. Jack A. Naglieri with the Legend of School Psychology Award during their 2025 annual conference. This recognition celebrates his lifelong contributions to the field, including his development of cognitive and nonverbal assessments that promote fair and accurate identification for all students.
An estimated 1.5 million students likely qualify for gifted programs but haven’t been identified. In this recorded session, Drs. Jack A. Naglieri, Dina Brulles, and Kimberly Lansdowne discuss universal screening using the Naglieri General Ability Tests, which assess verbal, nonverbal, and quantitative skills independently of language.
Key takeaways:
• Benefits of universal screening
• Understanding test accuracy
• Pros and cons of using local vs. national norms

The PASS Theory of Intelligence
This e-book explores the origins of the PASS Theory and how it shaped the Cognitive Assessment System (CAS) and its later editions. It highlights the theory’s ongoing impact on modern cognitive assessment.
