Philadelphia Naming Test—Short Forms

Two 30-item short forms of the 175-item original PNT were developed (A,B) that were shown to yield similar results to the PNT. The short forms can be used to reliably estimate accuracy on the full PNT. The two matched short forms allow for measurement of change in naming ability.
