Research and practical tools for educators and psychologists

A Career Dedicated to Understanding How Students Think and Learn

Dr. Jack A. Naglieri is a Senior Research Scientist at the Devereux Center for Resilient Children and Emeritus Professor of Psychology at George Mason University.

For more than 40 years, Dr. Naglieri has focused on improving how we measure thinking and learning in ways that are accurate, practical, and fair. His work has led to the development of several widely used assessments, including the Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test (NNAT), the Cognitive Assessment System (CAS), the Autism Spectrum Rating Scale (ASRS), the Devereux Student Strengths Assessment (DESSA), the Comprehensive Executive Function Inventory (CEFI), and the Naglieri General Ability Tests.

His work includes research connected to PASS Theory, along with studies focused on identification, executive functioning, social-emotional strengths, and fair access to opportunity. Across all of it, the goal remains the same: give educators and psychologists better tools to understand students and support their potential.
