New Assessments & Research
Naglieri General Ability Tests

These assessments provide a fair approach to identifying gifted and advanced learners by minimizing language and cultural bias.
Mandated Counseling Assessment Rating Scale (MCARS)
Created by Drs. Jack A. Naglieri and John Kelly, the MCARS helps school psychologists and counselors measure and document the impact of mandated counseling. This research-based tool offers a consistent framework for tracking student progress and outcomes.
