NVA. TM - Non Verbal Analogies
The NVA, or nonverbal reasoning test, assesses an individual's ability to recognize similarities, analogies, and patterns in abstract concepts.
This reasoning process is widely recognized as fundamental to measuring a person's ability to understand and assimilate new information and ideas. It allows a person to make sense of new information and connect it to what they already knew.
Non-verbal reasoning is used in many contexts, regardless of the type of learning. For example, it allows us to recognize similarities between words when learning to read and write, to identify numerical patterns, or even to see an analogy between instructions for assembling furniture and those for preparing a recipe.
The scores of this test thus provide an indication of how easily this person will acquire new concepts and master new material across a wide range of topics, based on their current levels of operation.

Using drawings in the form of matrices, rather than words, ensures an assessment of reasoning independent of linguistic skills.
The types of questions (matrices) included in the test thus make it possible to assess key reasoning processes, without confusing them with irrelevant knowledge or skills.
This test also has the advantage of not containing cultural bias.
