The S-VMPT assesses visual-motor integration through the copying of geometric figures, increasing in difficulty, without the use of a ruler, compass, or other aid. It measures the ability to interpret and translate visually perceived geometric patterns, using hand-motor responses. It is not a "drawing test", but a nearly culture-free, visual-motor performance screener.

Based on the popular Slosson Drawing Coordination Test (SDCT), the S-VMPT includes new, upper-end geometric items, and a higher ceiling for the adult population. Record Forms have been re-designed for easier use, and greater reliability. Score Forms show all stimuli on one page, and allow space to write observations.

Administration is quick and easy. The individual is asked to copy as many figures as possible, which are then scored "1" or "0", based on scoring guidelines. The comprehensive Manual includes scoring guidelines and examples that allow the examiner to practice the scoring procedure before administering a single test.

The S-VMPT yields both standard scores and developmental age scores for children and adults. It is highly reliable for all ages.

The complete S-VMPT includes the comprehensive Manual, and 25 each of the Record Forms and Score Forms.
