Which of the following is NOT considered a visual motor integration test?

• A. Symbol Digit Modalities Test
• B. Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration
• C. Word Sentence Copy Test
• D. Test of Visual Motor Skills (Revised)

Answer: (A)

Visual motor integration measures how well someone coordinates what they see with their own motor actions, typically through copying shapes, drawing, or tracing tasks that require precise eye–hand coordination. The Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration, the Word Sentence Copy Test, and the Test of Visual Motor Skills (Revised) all require producing a visual outcome that matches what is seen, so they directly assess that integration. The Symbol Digit Modalities Test, on the other hand, focuses on processing speed, attention, and rapid symbol-to-digit substitution rather than coordinating visual input with a motor output like drawing or copying. It’s about how quickly and accurately you can map symbols to digits, not about visually guided motor construction, so it is not considered a visual motor integration test.
