Abstract

The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) is a widely used neuropsychological measure. It can, however, be frustrating and lengthy to administer. Short forms are available, but there have been few comparisons of the short forms and full WCST in clinical samples. This study compared the full WCST to two short forms in a sample of 201 clinic patients. Our data suggest that the full- and short-forms provide similar results. Use of some published cutoff scores may, however, lead to false-positive diagnoses of impairment, particularly in older patients. We conclude that short forms have promise, but additional normative data are needed.
