How to Convert Universal Nonverbal Intelligence Test Raw Scores

The Universal Nonverbal Intelligence Test is a comprehensive measure of nonverbal ability, often used when an individual has impaired language skills or poor English. Unlike most intelligence tests, this assessment tool is not heavily loaded with linguistic or motoric elements. The UNIT measures symbolic (meaningful material), nonsymbolic (abstract), reasoning and memory abilities. It also produces a Full Scale IQ score. The UNIT contains abbreviated, standard and extended test batteries. Thus, administration is between 10 and 45 minutes. Scoring software can be used to score the UNIT, as well as tradition hand-scoring methods.

For example, if the student answered a total of 23 questions and 12 of them were correct, the raw score is 12. It is important to read the directions for subtest administration; some tests require different procedures for calculating the raw score.
