The four neurological patient groups and the normals from the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) standardization sample were used to examine the discriminability of the WCST's indices. Results reveal consistent differentiation of normals from the patient groups on all WCST variables, with classification rates averaging 71% accuracy. However, patient groups with frontal, diffuse, and nonfrontal lesions were not consistently discriminable from each other. The results suggest that the WCST is most usefully conceptualized as a measure of executive abilities that involves the frontal lobes, but should not be considered solely as a marker of isolated frontal lobe pathology.
