Caveats
Use of this report requires a thorough understanding of the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST; Berg, 1948; Grant
& Berg, 1948), its interpretation, and clinical applications as presented in the WCST Manual (Heaton, Chelune,
Talley, Kay, & Curtiss, 1993). This report is intended for use by qualified professionals.
This report reflects a computerized administration of the WCST. It is important to recognize that normative data
used in this report were developed using the standard 128-card version of the WCST (Heaton et al., 1993). While
research to date has demonstrated general equivalence between computerized administration and card administration
of the WCST (Artiola i Fortuny & Heaton, 1996; Hellman, Green, Kern, & Christenson, 1992), no definitive
equivalence data are available for the computerized administration of this version of the WCST and, as such,
normative scores must be interpreted cautiously. In order to estimate the potential effects of a computerized
administration on test performance, users should be familiar with the original card version.
Users should refer to the WCST Manual (Heaton et al., 1993) for the clinical interpretation of this score report.
Clinical interpretation of the WCST requires professional training and expertise in clinical psychology and/or
neuropsychology. The utility and validity of the WCST as a clinical measure of cognitive ability are directly
related to the professional’s background and knowledge and, in particular, familiarity with the information contained
in the WCST Manual.
WCST results should be interpreted within the context of a larger clinical assessment battery and relevant clinical
and historical information about this client. Additionally, use of WCST scores for clinical or diagnostic decisions
should not be attempted without a good understanding of brain-behavior relationships and the medical and
psychological factors that affect them.
