The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) is designed to measure a subject’s receptive (hearing) vocabulary for Standard American English.

Originally published in 1959 by American Guidance Service, it was standardized on White children from the U.S. city of Nashville, Tennessee. It consists of two forms (L and M), allows a verbal or nonverbal response, is individually administered, and is untimed.

Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test - Revised (PPVT-R) was standardized in 1979 and was published in 1981. It was authored by Lloyd M. Dunn, Leota M. Dunn, Gary J. Robertson, and Jay L. Eisenberg. According to the creators, PPVT-R scores should not be interpreted as intelligence test scores because of low correlation with tests designed to measure a general intelligence factor.

The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Third Edition (PPVT-III) was standardized in 1995 and published in 1997.
