The ability to visualize in a 3-D environment is an essential skill for communication through graphics. It has been defined as “the ability to mentally imagine, understand, rotate, and manipulate 3-D geometric objects”. Spatial skills are very important for a large variety of careers. There are at least 84 career areas for which spatial skills are considered important. Studies have also shown that spatial visualization skills are a strong predictor of the success and confidence of students in various fields of study.

Continuous efforts have been made to create training methods and exercises that increase spatial visualization skills. In 2003 Sorby, Wysocki and Baartmans published a multimedia software-workbook package which contained the course “Introduction to 3D Spatial Visualization”, now used for graphics education throughout the nation.

As the need for 3D visualization skills increased, specific spatial tests had to be developed to measure these visualization skills.
