Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test

The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test measures verbal ability or scholastic aptitude. It can be used with children aged two years and upwards, and reliably with seven years and up. Now in its fourth edition, PPTV takes less then 15 minutes to complete. It does not require the child to read, and scoring is rapid and objective. Scores can be converted to an IQ score.
