The purpose of this study was to determine the degree to which the Non-language Test of Verbal Intelligence, (NLTVI) which was developed with the idea that it would measure verbal ability through a non-language medium, could measure the verbal intelligence. It was correlated with the well-known standardized Verbal Reasoning Test of the Differential Aptitude Test Battery (VR-DAT). The magnitude of the correlation suggested the existence of some common as well as some uncommon factors between the two tests. When their predictive efficiencies with respect to academic achievement were compared the VR-DAT was proved to be better, though the one for the NLTVI was also significant.
