In this prospective study, 46 adult seizure outpatients with suspected brain impairment were referred for vocational services at the University of Washington Regional Epilepsy Center and counseled for job placement. Among the demographic, intellectual, neuropsychological, and psychosocial variables considered, the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) Digit Symbol subtest and the name-writing procedure from the neuropsychological battery by Dodrill (1978) were the best discriminators of later employability. Using discriminant function analysis, these two tests correctly classified 75.0% of the group which ultimately became employed (n = 22) and 73.9% of the group which did not attain employment (n = 26). Implications of these findings are discussed in relation to rehabilitation planning.
