* Average over 100 random two-part splits of the test's item set.

** Based on the norm computed from all the current data (not "official" norms necessarily) and a median IQ of 138.5.

Correlations between NAIT and other tests:

Correlations are computed between the raw score on the NAIT and the raw scores on other tests, except in the case of standardized tests (e.g., WAIS), where correlations are computed between the raw NAIT score and the standardized IQ score.

If you have previously taken other IQ tests, please consider sharing your earlier scores with the test author at email. This will allow the computation of correlations and g-loadings. You can use this form for convenience.

Norming information:

In the initial preliminary norm, scores were weighted based on estimated item difficulty. The norm was then estimated from this weighted score. However, this approach led to inaccuracies when item difficulties were either over or underestimated. Therefore, until sufficient data is available to accurately estimate item difficulty (beginning at N = 100), norms will be temporarily based on raw scores as is standard practice for most tests, even if not ideal.

June 26, 2025. The enhanced first preliminary norm has been published, significantly reducing inflation at the extremes of the range. It remains an estimate.

Current NAIT norm

August 13, 2025. An estimated norm for NAIT-ES has been published.
