What's the difference between verbal and non-verbal tests?

A difficult question to answer in a few words! Put simply, reasoning with words or language is 'verbal' and reasoning involving shapes and patterns is 'non-verbal'. To see the difference go to an example of a verbal reasoning paper and a non-verbal reasoning paper.
