This software provides unlimited scoring and reporting for administered WCST protocols and allows you to administer the WCST on-screen. Since the norms were obtained using the pencil-and-paper version of the WCST, it is considered a research version. 

Features and benefits

  • As you enter item responses from a previously administered WCST, the software presents only the possible valid responses to each card, preventing certain errors in data entry.
  • During on-screen administration, the software automatically tells the respondent (by both an audible response in English and an on-screen message in one of 10 user-definable languages) whether the choice was correct or incorrect.
  • The clinician can select all the valid dimensions to which the client was matching or simply click on any one of the valid dimensions; the software will automatically record any other dimension matches for that card.
  • Reports include demographic information and test performance variables; WCST raw scores and corresponding age- and education-corrected standard scores, T scores, and percentile scores for major WCST variables; and, for individuals ages 20-89 years, a comparison to normative scores derived from an age-matched sample based on 1995 U.S. Census data.

Scoring and reporting only is also available

A separate program, the WCST:CV4 Scoring Program, includes only the scoring and reporting features of the WCST:CV4; it does not administer the WCST on-screen.
